First, I would create a datafile with several lines in it and formfeeds between the lines. Try to print that to make sure that the printer responds to formfeeds.
If that works, your goal is to insert a formfeed bewteen each file. If this doesn't work, you will need to find an escape sequence that will formfeed.
As for the echos, switch to
echo something >> /tmp/printdebug

SYNOPSIS
gslp -12BclqRr -b<header> -f<font> -F<hfont> -L<lines> -p<outfile> -T<n> --add-to-space <units> --add-to-width <units> --columns <n>

DESCRIPTION
This utility provides functionality approximately equivalent to the Unix enscript(1) program. It prints plain text files using a single
font. It currently handles tabs and formfeeds, but not backspaces. It will line-wrap when using fixed-pitch fonts. It will also do kern-
ing and width adjustment.
The default device (-sDEVICE=) and resolution (-r) are as follows:
gslp epson 180
gsbj bj10e 180
gsdj deskjet 300
gsdj500 djet500 300
gslj laserjet 300
By default the current date is formatted as the center header.
OPTIONS
Standard switches implemented:
-12BclqRr -b<header> -f<font> -F<hfont> -L<lines> -p<outfile>
Sun switches implemented:
-T<n> set tab width
Switches ignored:
-GghKkmow -# -C -d -J -n -P -S -s -t -v
Switches added:
--add-to-space <units>
add the given number of 1/72" units to the width of each space (may be negative)
--add-to-width <units>
add the given number of 1/72" units to the width of each character (may be negative)
--columns <n>
print in <n> columns
--detect
treat the file as PostScript if it starts with %!
--first-page <n>
start printing at page <n>
--kern <file.afm>
kern using information from the given .AFM file
--last-page <n>
stop printing after page <n>
--(heading|footing)-(left|center|right) <string>
set the heading/footing fields; use -B first to clear
--margin-(top|bottom|left|right) <inches>
set a margin
--no-eject-(file|formfeed)
end-of-file/FF only starts a new column, not a new sheet
--spacing <n>
use double (n=2), triple (n=3), etc. spacing
Also, the string %# in a heading or footing is replaced with the page #.
