If you're willing to switch over to tables for your layout (not necessarily ideal), you can do it with the <thead> and <tfoot> elements. They'll print at the top and bottom of every page:

<table>

  <thead>
     <!-- Will print at the top of every page -->
  </thead>

  <tbody>
     <!-- Page content -->
  </tbody>

  <tfoot>
     <!-- Will print at the bottom of every page -->
  </tfoot>

</table>

Another option is to use display table-header-group and table-footer-group but cross-browser support isn't great:

#header {
  display: table-header-group;
}

#main {
  display: table-row-group;
}

#footer {
  display: table-footer-group;
}

I think I arrived too late :), but I was looking for something like this, and I found one answer that helps me (source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDgFLysON98). I wrote the div tag before and after the content like this

<div id="header">Top div content</div>

.
.
.
<div id="footer">Bottom div content</div>

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>``
<style>
body {
    background-color: #CCC;
    margin:48px 0px 0px 64px;
}
div#header {
    position:fixed;
    top:0px;
    left:0px;
    width:100%;
    color:#CCC;
    background:#333;
    padding:8px;
}
div#footer {
    position:fixed;
    bottom:0px;
    left:0px;
    width:100%;
    color:#CCC;
    background:#333;
    padding:8px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">HEADER</div>
<h1>Page Heading</h1>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<p>Content placeholder ...</p>
<div id="footer">FOOTER</div>
</body>
</html>

... I hope this helps.

For that you need to use the mso (microsoft office css properties) in your style:

<style><--
@page 
{
    size:21cm 29.7cmt;
    margin:1cm 1cm 1cm 1cm; 
    mso-title-page:yes;
    mso-page-orientation: portrait;
    mso-header: header;
    mso-footer: footer;
}
@page content {margin: 1cm 1cm 1cm 1cm;}
div.content {page: content;}
</style>

```
<div id="header">header</div>
<div id="content">
    content spanning several pages...
</div>
<div id="footer">Footer - Fixed at the bottom of each page</div>
```
I want to print #header and #footer on every page in print mode. I searched a lot but nothing seems to work, even position:fixed doesn't work as expected.
