I believe there are css styles for page breaks, if that is what you mean.

I'm not sure I fully understand you. Your 2nd example has 1 space between the "text" and is longer, whereas your first and 3rd examples have 3 spaces between the text and are short.

If your want to maintain the spacing association you could look into converting all spaces into &nblf;.

If your wanting the printer to stop at the end rather than printing out an entire page, perhaps that is something that could be changed in the printer settings, or maybe you could store the results and print it in batches. Other than that, I'm not sure it's possible.
