When only a few control commands are required,
such as form feed or some special escape sequences,
you can make nroff output these by modifying the table
for the corresponding output device (at /usr/lib/term or
wherever it may be on your installation).

By mapping some of the non-ascii symbols that you cannot
produce anyway - Greek letters, math symbols etc, you can
output any desired ascii sequence.

This requires no modification of the nroff code,
and has the advantage that a page shift can be defined as one
symbol, translated to form feed for printers supporting this,
and to the relevant escape sequences for others.
