Thanks for the suggestions, Derrick, Steve and ggt,
Just to clarify, there are two working modes for this project:
1) The user registers online and then prints the resulting completed 
form. This works fine with the javascript window_print function.
2) To prepare for users who show up to the event without their 
printed registration forms, I wanted to bulk print all the forms to 
have on hand.  That's the step I am seeking. And that is where I 
realize that PHP via the browser can not handle the job of looping 
through 500 records and printing via a script.
Dale just asked if the printing  was through the browser.  That's the 
only way I know at the moment...except for PDF. Are there others?
Derrick's idea of using webviewer crossed my mind and I might try it, 
although I'm worried about wasting time when I know that just biting 
the bullet and recreating the form in FMP layout is straight forward.
By the way...the registration is for Little League, where we are 
replacing a time-honored paper form process.
