I assume that what your printer is doing for you is to use Acrobat
to send your PDF file to the printer via PostScript.

Note that the "256 page limit" problem does NOT exist with the NT
or Mac versions of the AdobePS drivers. The problem is fixed for
Windows'9x in the AdobePS 4.3 driver (to be released soon).

What is putting a "PDF page number" on your printed pages? Unless
that is something you actually want, it sounds like your "printer"
is adding something that s/he shouldn't, possibly via some
Acrobat plugin.
