VBA Print Page Breaks

I have a sheet that shows account summaries for clients that are 5-10 rows long. When I print out the summary, I cannot use the "fit to x pages tall" method because I cant guarantee that it will not split in the middle of an account summary. I want to find the last full account summary that fits on the page, then create a page break right after that, then continue to do that for all pages.

The header cell for each account summary starts with the word "account" in it. I can filter/find those cell row numbers. I'm not sure how to set the page break, then check again, then set the second page break, then check again...

Any help is appreciated!!
 

Excel Facts

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
Try this

VBA Code:
Sub set_print_page_breaks()
  Dim f As Range, r As Range, cell As String
  Set r = Range("A2:A" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
  Set f = r.Find("account", , xlValues, xlWhole)
  ActiveSheet.ResetAllPageBreaks
  ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = False
  If Not f Is Nothing Then
    cell = f.Address
    Do
      ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks.Add Before:=f
      Set f = r.FindNext(f)
    Loop While Not f Is Nothing And f.Address <> cell
  End If
End Sub

not sure what the "Find" function is supposed to do in this situation. there will be 10+ accounts on this summary worksheet. I dont want each account to have their own page. I only want to prevent the page break from split an account block into two pages.
