I'm assuming you want to veiw on your browser & have the browser print ?

Ain't no such critter as a page break in html, but you can let the browser
help out.
All the versions i've worked with will avoid spliting a table across pages.
So use that fact to nudge the wanted behaviour :
<TABLE WIDTH="100%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 BORDER=0>
<TR><TD>
<PRE>
crank out 60 lines ...
</PRE>
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
<!-- next page -->
<TABLE WIDTH="100%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 BORDER=0>
<TR><TD>
<PRE>
60 more lines ...
</PRE>
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
repeat until you either run out of memory or lines ...

if you're writing html to disk, there's html2ps;
i've no idea if it handles tables likewise.
