I recently said, with respect to printing on HP LaserJet printers:
% BTW, you don't need to worry about converting text to postscript for
% your HP printer; they all default to working like a standard HP printer
% until they see something that looks like a postscript job.

There is a simple escape sequence you can send to the HP to tell it
text lines are terminated with \n only. A simple filter in your
printcap will allow you to send this escape sequence at the begging of
a print job, and reset the printer at the end. This will restore the
default setup for any *other* systems that may be using the printer as
well.
