You have a text doc that would run over 4 pages when printed.
You only want to print the first page, so in the print dialog set it to print 1 of 1.
On the printout, the page is labeled 1 of 4, when this should be a count of the number of items coming out of the printer.
Which Software works like that? I don't know of any! For example: I print a 10 page document in InDesign. Then I realize there's a type on page 7. I fix it, and print page 7 to 7. And *of course* I want it to say 'page 7 from 10'.
your feature request doesn't belong into the application layer at all IMHO, i.e. neither InDesign nor TextMate nor any other app should have such a feature. You need something at the OS level along the lines of adding header info to printed pages.
