Printing a series of numbers

[Jérôme Rosat]

Thanks Jacqueline for your answer.

I thought of that. But the series start to 1 the first day of the year  
and finish the last day of the year. I cannot know in advance the  
number of documents to be printed. And I don't want to count manually  
pages before to put them in the printer. So, I need to know when the  
printer stop to print when there is no more page in the paper tray.
