I'm using an HP OfficeJet and the driver allows me to
do 'Ordered Printing'

Can I get Headers with the file name... e.g. ThisPage.asp
and Footer to read Page 1 of 8, Page 2 of 8 etc.

At first look, I'd say probably not. One primary difference between web
'pages' and pages in programs such as Word is that there isn't a page size
(such as Letter, A4, etc.) on the web. Content always grows to fit the page
(not taking into account techniques such as fixed table widths, etc.).

There are some tricks you can use with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to
control the breaks in your page that 'break' a single page into multiple
parts when printing but I don't have any experience with this technique and
I can't vouch for browser compatibility.

I use IE mostly, but do testing in other browser, however I rarely print
pages. I'm 99.9% sure that IE will automatically print page # of # for you,
but I don't know about the others. Perhaps that's enough if your audience
is all IE?

If you come up with a nifty solution, please come back and share with the
gang.

Good luck,
