This is a request for a couple of new functions to be added to the
Printing functions in the Script Language

Win or RISC OS?

I'm using the event (0x104) EVENT_PRSTARTPAGE to notify me when a page
is being printed, at which point I'd like a way of finding out the
document's page & chapter number that is being being printed. Maybe
something along the lines of:

From distant memory does the print imposition script not know this information - does it not say which pages to put on each sheet of paper.

I'm guessing, a user specifies which pages to print and then there is an index into that collection of pages (?) - you might have a 100 page document and tell the program to print pages 10 to 15, six pages, index 0 to 5.

There is probably some trick - stick a macro into each page, kind of thing.

Is there any possibility of these functions being added

Yes.
