Are you trying to print a document at the web-server or at the client?

If the server, I'd use an external program - something like html2ps / 
html2pdf.

Otherwise, all you can do is issue window.print() from javascript. That 
will display the standard print dialogue-box. You'll want to display a 
new document laid out in the format you want, and you can have different 
  stylesheets for printing vs. screen display. That will give you 
reasonable control of the layout.

If you want to precisely control the layout, you'll have to produce a 
PDF that the client can download/print.
