lp command - lines per page in landcape

I'm trying to print a text file in landscape on a Laserjet 4si from a HP-UX 10.20 box, and I can't get the thing to stop printing just 2 lines on every other page.
The printer defaults to 45 lines per page in landscape, but seems to only fit 43 - hence the two spare on the following page.
I've tried using "-o lt43" but it makes no difference. I've tried piping the file through pr first to set the page length, but the subsequent lp command seems to overide this. (If I include the "-o pr" option it prints full pages but omits lines.)
Any assistance to enable me to get multiple, complete, pages of landscape text would be very welcome.
If only road sweeping was better paid!

Would 'a2ps' do the job for you ?

Hi Andy,

Use this command "lp -d(printername) -o eolwrap filename".
This should do the work.
