I believe there is a way to change the SRC attribute of a style sheet, in which case you might be able to swap the default style sheet out for a style sheet that sets all your menus and other web-only display elements to no display and then use that for printing instead of having a whole separate page -- assuming the user doesn't have script-blocking enabled, this would probably be the simplest solution, with the fewest moving parts.
Of course, you also have to consider browser compatibility issues. And ( you probably are already aware ) you can force page breaks with CSS using page-break-before: always; or page-break-after: always ...
