When I absolutely had to print out code, 17+ years ago, I remember it being 66 lines on a US letter sized sheet (don't care to calculate what pitch that would be, or the font size -- whatever HP LaserJets would print by default if you sent plain text ASCII data to port 9100 directly. My university also had those terrible green banded fan-fold paper line-printers that was like 200 columns wide and maybe 80-100 lines. We referred to both of these as "pages".
Now, I don't know anyone who measures code in "pages". This isn't a good metric when most projects are made up of multiple files. It's as good as measuring productivity in LOC.
