I have a simply solution that I have been using for printing with page
breaks while using LSC.  I inserted page breaks into my code a long time
ago with Aztec C, and have been Cutting and Pasting them wherever I've needed
them ever since.  I print in MPW (I like their printing options, with
good user-defined banners and font control), which understands page breaks.

This may not sound great initially, but considering that most of the printing
problems mentioned so far - including printing multiple files, all source code,
or even program sub-routine names or comments only (try their regular
expression pattern matching) - can be fixed with a MPW shellscript, MPW and
LSC make a great combination programming environment (in fact, I almost asked
that LSC put in more operating system tools, but now that Multifinder is
almost out, it would seem silly for them to try to provide what MPW does
already).  I don't use MPW C anymore, but I love the shell.

Here are my printing options from my UserStartup file for mpw (I use a
GCC laserprinter):

    set PrintOptions "-h -b -lm 0.5 -t 4 -f courier -s 6 -hf 
		'Swiss Narrow' -hs 18 -l 120"

If there is any interest, I'll post a sample shellscript that searches out
sub-routine comments (if you use standard 'C' header comments) and prints
them out.
