Depending on what you mean by "accepted", yes and no. You can use
the 'page-break-before' and 'page-break-after' properties of
Cascading Style Sheets, as defined at
<http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/TR/WD-print>. However, I'm not aware of
any browser support for these properties as of yet, since CSS
Printing Extensions are still in the Working Draft phase, and the
first draft isn't that old.

These are listed under "Future Extensions" at the above URL.

You can use CSS1 for this:
.toolbar { display: none }
would hide all HTML elements of class "toolbar" (as well as any child
elements) from the printer when the above rule is used in a style
sheet linked or embedded with MEDIA=print.
See <http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/TR/REC-CSS1> for more on CSS1, and
<http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/TR/REC-CSS1#display> for more on the
'display' property.
