cchris, thanks, sorry to be a problem, but I activiated the SCI_formfeed to Ctrl-F1, and I can see the FF on the page, but it is not translating to the printout. The black-boxed FF just prints where I inserted it, instead of it being a command, like so:
COMMENT END SCRIPT: F2_GFT_FINDWIRES
FF
COMMENT SCRIPT: FZ_GFT_DELETE_PREV_RUN
Am I using the command wrong? I might be spoiled by MS (ugh)

Open the About dialog box from the ? menu. You'll see ANSI or Unicode at the top. If you use the standard installer, then you should have an unicode build.
Regarding QuickText, you will want to check this thread:
Your answer is a little short for me. It would be really nice if a Form Feed would be printed.
When I load a txt-document into e.g. OO-Writer, then FF is printed. Isn't it possible to implement into Notepad++ or a plugin, that FF is send to the printer driver in a way that the printer driver knows that it should send a form feed command to the printer?

Notepad++ is a text editor, which means that any formatting it does is inferred from configuration and loaded text, without any
external format information.
I'm not sure a line break command would fit in this description. You can always makea request on IdeaTorrent.

Is there a page break function within Notepad++?
Also, what would be the best way to create a keyboard shortcut to insert the following block of comments:

1/
Settings -> Shortcut mapper -> Scintilla commands, assign the SCI_FORMFEED command.
2/
Search the plugin development forum for QuickText unicode, and use your text as a snippet. Unless you use an ANSI version of N++.

Thanks for those answers, but I could not see the quicktext plug in and how do I know which type I am using, I just use the npp5.0 installer.

It depends on your OS and your printer. If you have say a PostScript or PCL based printer, form feed won't be read as a page break.
