However, since the underlying HTML uses absolute positioning to place the items on the screen, it's possible that some of the items will be split between one page and another if the report is printed. (I just tried it, and it cut off one line out of the 8 pages I printed.

It looks like your approach would also solve another issue I ran into. I was trying to merge multiple reports into a single output using server side scripting, but with absolute positioning, the reports all lay on top of each other.
