LPRINT does send the output to the printer, could you be more specific?

If you want to print a page at a time and be more Mac like, then you have to 
open the printer like a file and send all you output to the special window
statement.

For Example:

OPEN "O", #1,"LPT1:PROMPT"  'Open the printer port
WINDOW OUTPUT #1            'send all drawing commands to the printer
' Draw you stuff here         
WINDOW CLOSE 1              'Close the port  
CLOSE #1                    'Close the file. Printing begins here
