In java it works on client side. html is parsed in client computer, then is send to client printer. php is server side, so, I'm afraid it has no such option like html parser you've mentioned. Html can be very big and will be correct, the problem is the way browser parse it and resources it needs... for sure such problem exist in IE, I don't know if mozilla or opera use different algorithm and can browse your reports with little bit less pain.
