You can use CSS page sizing as well, passing it via meta isn't required.

Headers/and footers are just HTML strings and can be super rich with images etc and customized with CSS. Page numbering is free as well in headers/footers.

Of course you could just use properly positioned <header> and <footer> tags and do whatever you need to with JS for page numbering.

That's good for page sizing but as other comments on this thread noted, no browsers seem to have proper support for CSS paged media including Chrome. When I tested it, none of the @bottom type stuff or other print/page related CSS worked at all which is why I ended up with Weasyprint since it has it's own engine (and is really great). Example of some more paged media stuff not supported by Chrome; https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2015/01/designing-for-print.... Another thing Weasyprint does really well which surprised me is automatically carrying over table headers onto subsequent pages when a table is split across pages, which is really nice.
