Simple calculation, until someone changes the overflow line or the page
length or the lines per inch or want to change to landscape mode or ...

You get the idea.

Create a field next to page number, create a work file similar to your
printer file. Keep a counter while creating workfile then write out to
printer file knowing already how many pages you have to  write.

Easy enough though, you must know the total number of records to be
printed
and just do the maths based on pre-determined lines per page.

Simple calc: 400 records to print divided by 50 lines per page gives you
the
total number of pages.

Have a good one,
