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.

Well you can't automatically print at the clients printer as you have no
rights to do that - but you could present a formatted PDF for them to print
if they choose to do that.

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 http://www.tufts.edu/webcentral/tutorials/printcss/

It has nothing to do about ASP.NET nor server side code. It's accomplished
by many websites in purely JavaScript way:
