I think you may still want to do at least beginpage in case pages have 
meaningful names. Like attaching envelope into the same job with letter 
;-)
Hmmm... adding page number to callback probably makes things easier 
(user data can be pointer to document or so).

I think I'll add it to the core of gnome-print HEAD.
