jt,

As far as the accuracy of the number of pages goes: instead of calling the
print program twice, you might call it until the output value of the
parameter matches the input.  Normally that should be two passes, but if the
database changes in such a way that the number of pages changes, the program
is called a third time.  Theoretically, it could go on forever :-)
