Question

Is it possible, with any mix of HTML and/or CSS, to display one header on the first printed page and then display a different header on each subsequent printed page? I know about the @media print CSS tag to only display something when the site is printed, but that doesn’t get me to having different headers on multiple pages.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

from http://css-discuss.incutio.com/wiki/Printing_Headers

If you want full, CSS-controlled print
headers and footers, you’ll need to
wait until browsers implement support
for the CSS3 Paged Media Candidate
Recommendation. It explicitly provides
for the facility but in a quite
different way, using margin boxes.

probably because…

… the CSS
description of position: fixed, [is] namely
“… In the case of the print media
type, the box is rendered on every
page, and is fixed with respect to the
page …” [Section 9.3.1]

…but the article says it doesn’t work as of these days.

BUT, to help you, later the article says:

Setting a top margin on body (for
example) will work only for the first
page.
