Don't know what platform you are on, but you could do the following with
IE (you might be able to do the same with FF, I'm not sure).
Generate each record as a page (could be dynamic or static)
Create a "table of contents", which is one page with all pages linked.
In IE, you can say "print all linked documents"
Hope that helps!
