Although CSS could be used in theory for this, I'd suggest offering a
PDF version if high quality print presentation is needed.
The problem is that, as with screen display, you have no control over
what font will be used for printing, and hence even with an enforced
point size you couldn't guarantee where a page would end. Also,
depending on who uses your site, you hit problems with North American
vs. ISO paper sizes.
Oh, and there's also the issue of people adjusting margins in their
browser's print preview...
