With server side includes, maybe. You'll need separate versions for screen
and print, though, so Eric Meyer's article doesn't apply.

I don't know if it's possible to have it automatically paginate, putting the
header and footer in on the fly. I've only been successful doing this with
tabular data where I could tell it 'write header; write 40 lines; write
footer; repeat'

Interesting challenge, though. I'm still thinking about it.
