Re: Setting lines to print per page....

[gebser@ameritech.net]

Put this in your .emacs:

(custom-set-variables
 '(lpr-page-header-program "pr --page-width=84 --indent=5"))

Depending on the size of the characters you configured and what size
margins you want, you may need to adjust the numbers.  

Do "man pr" for more options to include above within the quotes (").
