First, this is not `printing': no printer is involved.  Second, aov()
prints/outputs nothing at all: that is done by print.aov. And as
example(aov) generates less than 100 lines, that is hardly `lots of
outputs', I believe.

There is no way to run a pager inside Rgui (if that is what you are using).
It _is_ possible to run output of Rterm through `less' or `more' on
Windows. However, you can always use sink to rediect output to a file, and
display that file in a pager (e.g. from the File menu in Rgui).
