Try this CSS:

@page {
    @top-center {
        content: 'Page ' counter(page) ' of ' counter(pages);
    }
}

HTML printing in a browser is a PITA. If you want to get quality output, you might consider to generate some PDF that users can print. It's a lot more work, but gives you 100% control how the print will look like.

You can check my blog series on Domino and PDF to get a head start.

Short of that Per's & Eric's answer is the way to go
