In theory, I think that position: fixed for a print media style sheet will
do it. In practise nothing supports this.

You can't. You don't know what the font size will be, what the paper size
will be, or what the margins will be.

That's correct. From
<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#ch oose-position>:

"In the case of the print media type, the box is rendered on every page,
and is fixed with respect to the page box"

I don't know of any browser that supports this.

In CSS3, you will have fancier stuff at your disposal, like page numbers
in running footers. See <http://www.w3.org/TR/css-print/#s.8.4>. But it
will be some time before you can really use this.

Quite right. I had never noticed this. Can't say it surprises me, though :)

I created a test page <http://www.phys.uu.nl/~gdevries/test/fixed/>, and
it seems that the position: fixed works fine, but the problem is that the
fixed-positioned element overlaps the normal text, and it seems that @page
{ margin-top: 5em; } doesn't work. But perhaps I'm doing something wrong...

Working as designed, absolutely positioned elements are not in the flow.

Yes, that's correct. The positioning of the fixed header works the way it
should. But a header overlapping normal text is not what you want in a
practical situation, so you need a way to let the normal text begin a bit
lower, so it makes space for the header. Something like this could do the
trick:

@page { margin-top: 3cm; }
h1 { position: fixed; top: -3cm; }

But the @page rule doesn't seem to work in Opera (9.01). Unless, as I
said, I'm doing something wrong, but I don't think I am.

You're asking us how to build a house out of water. You can't --
water is not a suitable medium for building houses.(*)

If you want to design your visitor's entire printed page, HTML is the
wrong medium. Use PDF -- with all the problems that brings.

The right answer is, don't be such a control freak. Deliver content,
and let the user's browser do its job if the user even wants to
print.
(*) Not even in the far north, since global warming, for which that
clown in the White House will find a place in the lowest circle of
Hell.

L.S., I'm trying to make a layout which is completely fixed in width and height if needed by using three divs rows (header, content, footer) which have each 3 div again to be able to play around better with the webdesign. The problem is that I need the content div row to nudge up automatically to the header div row, independantly of the header height. The same goes for the footer/content div row.
