No, GnuCash won't do that. What I do is leave the invoice tab open with my
preferred settings. Then, each time I need a new invoice, just go to that tab
and change the current invoice number. It's much faster than changing all the
other options!

I've too many bad experiences trying to print invoices from GnuCash - breaking
between pages in the middle of a line of text, leaving that line unreadable,
is not really acceptable for professional invoicing!

What I do is export the invoice, which produces an HTML file, and then open
the exported invoice in OpenOffice.org and print it from there. This ensures
that the table is broken only between lines of text, as well as allowing me to
tweak the layout if needed (e.g. push it all onto one page if there's only one
line overflowing).
