I am not sure that browser can automatically move all or some form elements from one window to another (which may not be even a form). Search this list, the similar question was asked about half a year ago. If you used clean (X)HTML with CSS and with a different stylesheet for a printer, the things would be easier and cleaner, you would just select Print Preview and see correctly formatted page.
