Printing from unix with lp

Hey,

When printing from UNIX all the dataafter the end of the page is not printed!!

How can I use lp so that instead of just printing to the end of the page, it stops at the end of the page and then prints on the next line???

Thanx

NAME
pr - print file SYNOPSIS
pr [ option ] ... [ file ] ... DESCRIPTION
Pr produces a printed listing of one or more files. The output is separated into pages headed by a date, the name of the file or a speci- fied header, and the page number. If there are no file arguments, pr prints its standard input. Options apply to all following files but may be reset between files: -n Produce n-column output. +n Begin printing with page n. -h Take the next argument as a page header. -wn For purposes of multi-column output, take the width of the page to be n characters instead of the default 72. -ln Take the length of the page to be n lines instead of the default 66. -t Do not print the 5-line header or the 5-line trailer normally supplied for each page. -sc Separate columns by the single character c instead of by the appropriate amount of white space. A missing c is taken to be a tab. -m Print all files simultaneously, each in one column, Inter-terminal messages via write(1) are forbidden during a pr. FILES
/dev/tty? to suspend messages. SEE ALSO
cat(1) DIAGNOSTICS
There are no diagnostics when pr is printing on a terminal. PR(1)
