Hi Bruce, the print module for GeoServer really just wraps the MapFish print module. You may get better answers on the mapfish-users list. But creating multi-page documents with attribute tables is definitely possible with it. For the client-side, you may want to consider using GeoExt. If you want to have an attribute table, you should add your parcels to the map using a vector layer. Look at these example to get you started - they also contain the relevant links for MapFish and the GeoServer print module:
