What you mean by page will not be wasted.If you have 10 lines to print,it will print only 10 lines in the page and remaining page will be blank.are you seeing any other behavior or you want your paper to be magically cut by the printer once printing the 10 lines.

In general to solve a printing issue with HTML you better give an option for printing.

When user would request for printing you make another window with required data to print. from that page user can print using normal print command
