My app collects visitor info via a set of screen forms and now I've got to 
print the collected info out so that it fits into the spaces, etc. on an 
existing paper form.  It's actually going to print (form and collected into) to 
a blank piece of paper most of the time, but it also needs to print just the 
collected info to a preprinted form.

My solution so far is to use a scanned image of the paper form as background.  
That way the user can turn on background printing if they're going to print to 
blank paper, or turn it off if they're going to print to a preprinted form.  
I'm positioning the text / images that are or represent the collected info via 
CSS (e.g., a check mark prints in a specific location on the page if they 
selected the 'yes' radio button for ' question 4' on the screen form).  I've 
got two stylesheets, one for 'screen' and the other for 'print'.  This solution 
is working ok for page one of the printed form.

Now I need to add page two of the printed form.  I would like to be able to 
print all the pages of the form with one print command.  But I don't seem to be 
able to add a second background image.

I've tried putting the images in two seperate divs (page1 and page2) in the 
stylesheet and then putting both divs on the page.  I can't get the second 
image to print.  I've tried combining the two images into one and then setting 
the page height in the print css to two pages high.  About the first page and a 
half of the image printed on the first page of output, no second page.

I'd sure appreciate it if someone would point me in a direction that might work.

Thanks,
Bill
