        @Dave-Clark ,

        Notepad++ is a text editor, not a word processor. Pagination is more associated with the latter, so pagination controls are not built into Notepad++.

        That said, there is an ASCII Form Feed character at code point 12. You should be able to use the Windows sequence Alt+012 to insert the FF into your document. Notepad++ won’t do anything special with it (and iirc, it doesn’t even dump that byte to the printer, but instead replaces it wit the shown glyph)… But if you dump the raw text file to the printer elsewhere (like the command line), the printer should form feed there.

          Another option for inserting a formfeed character is the “Character Panel”.
          Turn it on via the Edit menu command called Character Panel.
          Then doubleclick the FF in the row with Value equal to 12.

            Printing from NPP, the printer does not FF.

              @Marty-Kay Read the message @PeterJones posted above three years ago on how to get the FF.

              If you want Notepad++ to do something special with FF then you could try FAQ: Feature Request or Bug Report

              Notepad++ already has a number of configuration settings related to printing. With that in mind I could see some support for FF being added. However, I suspect though that the request for FF support would get declined or ignored as the FF feature could easily creep into a later request to display a horizontal line at the FF and then to creep into displaying page number and the line within that page. It sends Notepad++ drifting into the FAQ: “Notepad++ is a Text Editor, not a Word Processor” territory.
