If the PostScript file is Document compliant, there will be information in the
file that indicates the total number of pages.
If the PostScript file is hand written, it could be written such that it will
print out hundreds of pages, but only be one line in length. In this case
you can't, at least not without a PostScript reader to run the job and count
the pages it would put out.
