The solution must be non-printer specific... which rules out post script.

I'm very new to this entire environment (this is my first project) so please
excuse my ignorance. The process I am working with is this:
I am provided with an XML file containing a batch of documents.
My XSL file converts this to a .txt file using whitespace generated with
strategically placed spaces and line feeds which format the text so that
when printed, it will be properly placed on the stack of pre-printed empty
forms that are located in the printer. The .txt file, once generated, is
sent to the printer via a DOS command. (Not bad for my first XSL project
:-) )
My output method is text and my encoding is UTF-8.
I am currently achieving pagination using line feeds but the boss would
prefer a page break. Our eventual goal is a non-printer specfic solution.
Does any of this give you a better clue what I'm trying to do?
Thanks so much for your assistance!
Rebecca
