How to place 3 records per (printing) page

Question

Hi,
How would I go about only displaying 3 records per each a4 paper printed.
For example:
9 records in total.
I want to print that (printing on paper), but only want 3 records per A4 size as records are being split between two pieces of paper.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thank you!

Answer 1

sorry.
I have done all the extraction and they display on the page with no problem. All the records are there and display fine.
The problem is that i need to be able to create something like a page break every three records, as when i send the print to the printer, it has 3 records and a half on each A4 sheet of paper.
I just need to be able to code: 'only print 3 records per A4 sized paper'.
I have a css'd div tag which is the size of the A4 paper, but i need to be able to tell it to only display 3 records per A4 page.
At the moment, it looks like this:
The 'sound trolley - PAC' record shouldn't be spliut between pages. The title and the details should be on the same page, so im guessing would require something like a break after 'Nexo Subwoofer'.
This is the code for the page (all within the A4 size div):
<div class="a4page">
  <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="2">
    <tr>
      <td width="51%"><img src="images/logo_acs_egham.gif" width="338" height="51" /></td>
      <td width="28%"><img src="images/dramadatabase.jpg" width="133" height="93" /></td>
      <td align="right" width="21%"><strong>Inventory printed:</strong> <br />
      <script type="text/javascript">
var currentTime = new Date();
var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1;
var day = currentTime.getDate();
var year = currentTime.getFullYear();
document.write(day + "/" + month + "/" + year);</script>
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="3"><img src="images/divider.JPG" width="785" height="25" /></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  <div align="center"><strong>Total Records:</strong> <?php echo $totalRows_print_invlist ?> </div>
  <?php do { ?>
    <form id="form2" name="form2" method="post" action="">
      <table width="99%" border="0" cellpadding="2" class="print_table">
        <tr>
          <td colspan="3"><span class="titlelist"><?php echo $row_print_invlist['name']; ?><a href="equipmentupdate.php?id=<?php echo $row_print_invlist['id']; ?>">
              <input name="id" type="hidden" id="id" value="<?php echo $row_print_invlist['id']; ?>" />
            </a></span></td>
          <td width="23%"> </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
