Well, I generated a list in HTML format for all the parts whose filename starts with 4. (This makes testing more managable.) I then printed that to a PDF. Unfortunately, none of the browsers I tried (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera on the Mac, IE 9 on Win 7) did a very good job with page breaks. The best was Firefox, and it's not exactly great. You can see the (6.4MB) PDF here:

Let me know what you think.
Note that my generated HTML includes a "page-break-inside: avoid;" CSS tag for <tr> elements, and Opera is supposed to support that CSS tag. However, either I did it wrong, or Opera's claimed support is bady broken, because it actually ended up looking a lot worse on Opera than on Firefox. (Firefox isn't supposed to support that particular CSS tag.) Also, Firefox was the only browser that included the header at the top of each page.
