Well, on a report you do know how many records you are
going to print before the request output processing
starts.  So if you fix the number of records per page
to a given number, then it should be possible to
calculate how many pages you are going to print.

So for example if you specified 50 as the "Number of
forms down page" then the number of pages that you
will print is @ts/"50".  If there is a remainder then
add 1 more page.

Ex:
FormCount = "50"
TotalPages = @ts/FormCount

If: (@ts/FormCount) ne int(@ts/FormCount)
Then TotalPages=TotalPages+"1"

Of course it is not always possible to fix the number
of records per page - you may be doing fancy things
such as print statements and the like.  However, for
plain vanilla reports this should work I would think.
