Browsers do not provide such data even they have that information available internally.

Just in case: in Sciter I've invented special type of frame - <frame type=pager src=...> in order to show print preview. That type of frame generates pagination events including number of pages.

frame type=pager

Unfortunately you can't calculate the number of pages that are going to be printed, but you can force content to a new page using page breaks.
