Opera is the only one with this support AFAIK:

If you are teaching web design you should be telling students to look at
their work in as many different browsers as possible. You can then
advise them that Opera has the best support for printing. To me it
doesn't matter as i normally copy and paste to a word processor before
printing anyway, even on print ready sites, to avoid two lines on a page
if i can.
