Problem Note 3426: Unix printing (Universalprint) does not respect page boundaries in
Release 8.1
The universalprint printing interface (the default print
method for SAS Version 8.1 when clicking on File -> Print) does not
respect page boundaries. Output from all procedures and DATA
steps runs together onto the
same page. TITLE statements appear interspersed throughout pages of
output. The DATA step _page_ keyword is also ignored.
For instance, if you set the SAS System option pagesize=25, then every
25 lines a new TITLE statement will appear in the output. However, if
the printer settings allow for 60 lines on the page, then you will see 2
full logical pages and a little of the third one on one physical piece
of paper.
A Technical Support hot fix for Release 8.1 TSLEVEL TS1M0 for this
issue is available at:

This problem is also fixed in Release 8.2.
