The real reason behind this behavior is that nearly all modern
printers are "page oriented," that is, they start printing new files
on new pages. Old dot-matrix printers were "line printers" that
printed new files on the next line after the end of the previous file,
on continuous paper, unless a printer command was included to begin
the new file at the top of the next page.
