It's an Evolution problem, even in the most recent 2.10.x releases.
Evolution doesn't do pagination correctly, and therefore can't honor the
user's request to print only a subset of pages.  This applies to both
email and contact lists, unfortunately.

I happen to be currently working on this and other printing issues and
hope to get the matter resolved in time for the Evolution 2.12 release
later this year.  In the meantime, you might try printing to a PDF file
by choosing "Print to File" in the Print dialog, and then using
something like Evince to print your custom page ranges.
