I have a page where somebody enters some information. On submitting the
page, I want to take the info, format it 'pretty' and print the page
automatically for the user.

Can anybody point me somewhere to look on how to do this?

Thanks - Jeff.
 
With that - here's another question -

If I have a web page that somebody is going to print, how can I put page
breaks in it to force the print to eject the page?

I don't even know if I can embed a ^L on the page.
 
You can invoke hte printer dialogue with a single line fo javascript

<a href="JavaScript:window.print();">Print this page</a>

But to format the page correctly, you should read up on CSS print
