The file is in ASCII, with a form feed character defining each page. Gedit displays the form feed as a box with the hexadecimal value 000C in it. This is all good. When I select "print" from the gedit menu, it sends the text to the printer neatly formatted with a header and page numbering of its own. This is also acceptable. When the legacy program created the text, it determined that additional information should appear an a new form, so it wanted to eject the nearly full form, and begin the next block of information beneath a new header. It emitted a form feed to produce that effect. Gedit happily creates a graphic box with 000C in it, prints the box, and proceeds to print the legacy header (which says "page 2" on it) on the bottom of page One. When it runs out of paper, it prints its Page 2 header, continues to print the legacy second page, a 000C box, and the header for the legacy "page 3" and part of page three until it runs out of paper again, and so forth. Unicode 000C is defined as a white space control character, as are carriage return and line feed. You don't print them, you obey them. Do the same for form feed. Be kind to old programs and old programmers. If my C program contains a "printf" statement with a "\f" in it, give me a new sheet of paper on the printout. That way your page 2 will also be my page 2 and the printout will appear pretty much like the programmer (myself in a previous millennium) intended.
