I am trying to make footer stick to the bottom of the very last page only at the footer section of the print preview

The page content is dynamic so i dont know which is my last page.

I have tried the below code and it makes the footer appears at the last page of the preview but not in footer section of the last page.currently the footer section prints at the page 2 which is immediate next to the body section but i want footer section to be printed at page 2 of the footer section

What I have tried:

<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.1.min.js"> </script>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        function printDiv(divID) {
            //Get the HTML of div
            var divElements = document.getElementById(divID).innerHTML;
            //Get the HTML of whole page
            var oldPage = document.body.innerHTML;

            //Reset the page's HTML with div's HTML only
            document.body.innerHTML =
              "<html><head><title></title></head><body>" +
              divElements + "</body>";

            //Print Page
            window.print();

            //Restore orignal HTML
            document.body.innerHTML = oldPage;


        }
    </script>

</head>
<body>
    <button onclick="myFunction()"> Print this page</button> <input type="button" value="Print 1st Div" onclick="javascript:printDiv('printablediv')" /> >
    <script>
        function myFunction() {
            window.print();
        }

    </script>
    <div id="printablediv">
        <table>
            <thead>
                <tr style="height:30px;"> <th> PAGE HEADER</th> </tr>
            <thead>
            <tfoot> <tr> <td id="spacer" style="height:200px;"> </td> </tr> </tfoot>
            <tbody>
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br>
                        content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br>
                        content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br>
                        content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br>
                        content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br>
                        content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br>
                        content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br>
                        content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br> content<br>

                    </td>
                </tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>

If you change the html of the footer, it will be the footer, by definition. It's hard to understand what's wrong with where it is printing?

No actually the footer content "sample" should be shown at footer section of 2nd page but currently the footer content "sample" is shown immediate next to the body section.you can check for preview by creating a simple html file.
The body content is dynamic and i dont know which is my last page,whatever may be the content the footer should come at last page of preview and also only at footer section
