I think it is simpler than that. The printer will cache the print job 
and if the paper runs out, it will wait until you reload the paper tray 
and continue printing where it left off. So I think all you need to do 
is create a print layout and a repeat loop that prints a number and a 
page break, and then send the whole job to the printer at once.

For example, if you need 1000 numbers:

repeat with x = 1 to 1000
  put x into fld "numberFld" of card "printLayout"
  print cd "printLayout"
  print break
end repeat

I think that should work.
