In Netscape, choose PRINT PREVIEW rather than print. It will display
what's on each page, let you know the number of pages, and let you print
just page 5 (or 5-8) if you want to.

I don't think so. However, you could completely disable the print
feature, and only allow downloading of documents. Of course, this
wouldn't look quite as good in some instances....
