Good morning, I wonder if there is any way to count how many times a particular page (html) has been printed. I know we can count the times that a modal was opened with the click of the button, in the same modal I have a button to print (the content of it), but I need to count how many times that content was actually printed. Is this possible?

No.

You can just count how many times the user has clicked your print button. If this is enough: the same way you increment the modal open counter, you can increment the click counter of the print button. You can do something like this:

HTML:

<button id="botaoPraImprimir" type="button">Imprimir</button>
<input type="hidden" id="contadorDeImpressoes" value="0">

Javascript, with jQuery:

var $contadorImpressoes = $("#contadorImpressoes");
$("#botaoPraImprimir").on("click", function () {
    let valorAtual = parseInt($contadorImpressoes).val();
    $contadorImpressoes.val(valorAtual + 1);
});

Note that this will count how many times the print button of your modal has been printed. So you know how many times the user had the intention to print .

The print button in the browser's print dialog is not accessible via code - and there is no browser print event that you can capture or intercept. You can not count how many times a document was actually printed , or how many copies were made .
