Is this something you want to print-only? You could add it to every page on your site and use CSS to define the tag as a print-only media.

As an example, this could be an example header:

And in your CSS, do something like this:

Finally, to include the header/footer on every page you might use server-side includes or if you have any pages being generated with PHP or ASP you could simply code it in to a common file.

Edit:

This answer is intended to provide a way to show something on the physical printed version of a document while not showing it otherwise. However just as comments suggest, it doesn't solve the issue of having a footer on multiple printed pages when content overflows.

I'm leaving it here in case it's helpful nevertheless.
