FORTRAN line feed controls - printing howto?

Question:
env:    3.2.5
        xlf 3.2
        Standard ibm ps printer

Customer wanted to know how to use the control statements in fortran
to control the output so that he could alter page ejects. 
Response:

Customer has written his code for a SUN system, and they
write to column 2, and it goes to column 1,  the Page ejects
get converted automatically to ctrl-L.  
He is printing with enscript.

There is a filter for FORTRAN called
/usr/ucb/fpr  Contains the fpr command.
or
/usr/bin/asa  Contains the asa command.  linked to /usr/ucb/fpr

transforms files formatted according to FORTRAN carriage control conventions 
into files formatted according to AIX line printer conventions.

asa file | enscript -dps

Fortran output looks like

0Line one
0Line two
+Line Three
1Form Feed with 1 in column one
asa file | od -c  shows 0-> lf, + -> ctrl-B, 1 -> ff (ctrl-L)
NEXT: Customer will test, and call back only if this does not work.
