Uh, Michael, may I remind you that laser printers, unlike ink-jet printers,
are by nature *page* printers:  they *must* print a complete page at a time.
You can't "band" output without doing some kind of hackery like running the
page through the printer multiple times... which is not only annoying, but
will probably leave toner all over the important parts of the printer in short
order, necessitating expensive repairs.
