You would need to the replace utility to insert a pilcrow at the end of each paragraph.  To do that, in the Find what: control of the Find and Replace dialog, enter

^p

and in the replace with control, hold down the Alt key and type 0182 on the numeric key pad which will insert

into the control and after it, enter ^p so that you have

¶^p

The click on Replace All.

You should save the document before doing this so that you can just close the document after printing it and then you can re-open the document without the pilcrows.
