Nope. HTML gives a browser "suggestions" but the browser is always in
control, and each browser may do things differently, especially in
layout. For total layout control (such as for printing), use PDF. It's
a more unwieldy format and requires the user to have a PDF viewer (most
do) but, especially if you keep to the lowest level of PDF (so users
don't have to continually upgrade just to see the page) it should do
what you want.
