change required to print table with fewer lines than pagelen:

30c30,33
<     cline = eline < pagelen and 0 or cline + pagelen
---
>     if eline < pagelen:
>         cline = 0 
>     else:
>         cline += pagelen

Hello.  Thanks for this request, and my apologies for the extremely slow 
response time.

I have just implemented a "paginate" method in the SVN trunk which produces a 
string suitable for passing to lp (but it's up to the user to pass it to lp, I 
didn't want to put that into PrettyTable).  It looks like this:

table.paginate(page_length=58, **kwargs),

where the kwargs can be anything that you would normally pass to get_string 
(including start and end, which enable only paginating a subset of the table).

Please give the new code a test in your application and let me know if it works 
as required or not.  Sorry again for the delay.
