Hi
1. If you want the total number of pages after the printout is complete...
REPORT FORM myReport TO PRINTER PROMPT PREVIEW
nTotalPage = _PageNo
2. If your intention is to find this out even before printing... then..
REPORT FORM myReport TO FILE myFile.txt NOCONSOLE
nTotalPage = _PageNo
ERASE FILE myFile.txt
REPORT FORM myReport TO PRINTER PROMPT PREVIEW
3. If you want to know the status as the printing is in progress..
Add a function in your main.prg.. say..
myCurrentPage
*************
PARAMTERS pPage
WAIT WINDOW pPage NOWAIT
RETURN
In the Report form.. along the pageheader.. calling this function should provide you the details....
myCurrentPage(_PageNo)

I read this as "How can I tell how many pages the printer has actually printed". I'm not aware of anyway to do this. VFP hands off printing to the Windows print spooler, then it's done.

As to the second and third parts of your question I'm afraid I have more questions than answers for you.
Filename?
Since you most likely use the report name or file name when you issue your print statement in VFP I'm not sure I understand this part of your question. Are you printing to a File instead of to port LPT1 for instance?
Page Resolution?
Are you printing images?

Not that easy, but here is a simple Printer queue form in VFP that lists the jobs names in the print queue, whether the where printed from VFP or not.
