Checking for print with script.

Hi!
During work as Oracle sysadmin. I need to print output of Oracle report (text mode) without first page. Into this page user has printed parameters of this report.
My idea was check number of page breaks by running ->
Code:
grep -i $'^\f'  <file name>  | wc -l

and send to printer parameter according with recieved number
Code:
-o page-ranges=2-${number_page_break}

Who can advice me more elegant way for resolving this please.

Thanks and best regards, Staas.

NAME
twprint - Tripwire database and report printer SYNOPSIS
twprint { -m r | --print-report } [ options... ] twprint { -m d | --print-dbfile } [ options... ] [ object1 [ object2... ]] DESCRIPTION
Prints Tripwire database and report files in clear text format. Report Printing mode In Report Printing mode, twprint verifies and displays the contents of a Tripwire report file (.twr). If no report is specified on the command line, the report specified in the REPORTFILE variable in the configuration file will be used. By default, this value includes the date and time to the nearest second. Because this value is constantly changing, twprint may not be able to find the correct report file. For this reason, the (-r or --twrfile) flag should be used with the desired report name to print a specific report. Database Printing mode This option is used to print a Tripwire database file in human-readable (clear text) form. In Database Printing mode, twprint verifies and prints the contents of a specified database to stdout. If no database file is specified on the command line, the default database specified by the DBFILE variable in the configuration file is used. OPTIONS
Report printing mode: -m r --print-report -v --verbose -s --silent, --quiet -c cfgfile --cfgfile cfgfile -r report --twrfile report -L localkey --local-keyfile localkey -t { 0|1|2|3|4 } --report-level { 0|1|2|3|4 } -m r, --print-report Mode selector. -v, --verbose Verbose output mode. Mutually exclusive with (-s). -s, --silent, --quiet Silent output mode. Mutually exclusive with (-v). -c cfgfile, --cfgfile cfgfile Use the specified configuration file. -r report, --twrfile report Print the specified report file. -L localkey, --local-keyfile localkey Use the specified local key file to perform verification with reports which are signed. -t level, --report-level level Specifies the detail level of the printed report, overriding the REPORTLEVEL variable in the configuration file. level must be a number from 0 to 4. Database printing mode: -m d --print-dbfile -v --verbose -s --silent, --quiet -c cfgfile --cfgfile cfgfile -d database --dbfile database -L localkey --local-keyfile localkey [ object1 [ object2... ]] -m d, --print-dbfile Mode selector. -v, --verbose Verbose output mode.
