I don't know whether the initial heading command is of any use - probably not.

You don't say why you want to achieve this.
It shouldn't produce leading blank pages when you print - if it does it's
indicative of printer setup problems, and there are other ways of tackling it.
On recent VMS I believe there's a noformfeed option at the DCL level (set queue
or init/queue).
