Is this a question of epm sending them to the printer,
or the printer interpreting them as you want?
What kind of printer are you using?
What are it's capabilities?

Maybe there is a special printer code that should be put in.
Two past experiences seem to relate to this.
1) once banged out a Perl script to round up the number
of line feeds to a multiple of page number of lines when it met
page ejects, or some such.
2) once used Bill Schindler's Rexx script for converting
plain text to postscript ('Down to Earth Rexx'),
and didn't like the page breaks.
It was no big deal to go into the postscript and reposition
the command for the page ejects to what I wanted.
