Bug description

Nothing more to say.

Steps to reproduce

Open the print dialog, select page TOTAL_NUM + 1 and print.

Expected behavior

Do not accept invalid page numbers. Preferably just show a message next to the input box instead of breaking the flow with an alert window. Buttons to increment/decrement to handle bitchy printers page by page would also be of great help in matters of saving time.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash from the print dialog with a page number one greater than the total. Trace the invalid-page handling and verify that the dialog rejects the value without crashing, while preserving the printing flow.
