The question you posted can't be solved via a Dos command or setting, as it's related to the control language recognized by your specific printer. It is possible, in a more or less easy way to send an escape sequence to set the page lenght for the connected printer, but it's different according to the printer language, i.e. ESC/P for Epson, PCL for HP and compatibles, IBM streaming for IBM and so on. So there is the need to know what specific printer you operate and its control language as stated above.

There is a special program for support printing from DOS applications on any kinds of printers include winprinters, USB-printers, network printers, print servers etc. DOSPRN work at Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP.
Also DOSPRN support Epson and HP PCL Esc-sequences emulation, multiple international codepages, landscape/portrait printing, text color manipulation, absolute positioning and many other features
