I had the same problem and found simple tags to work best for me.

  

    

      content that should be printed as page header
    
  
  

    

      content that will be spread over all pages consecutively
    
  

The table will look like a simple table in the browser, but in printouts the content of the tag is repeated on each page. No CSS required.

Tested in Firefox 32, IE 11 and even in MS Word 2010. Word does not translate the tag into "real" page headers, but repeats the content on top of each page. (You may have to switch to "Page View" to actually see the difference in Word).
