Could it be that you need a filter that converts plain <lf> (unix style
EOL) to <cr><lf> in case you're printing ascii files?
I had this problem with a HP laserjetIII. I've written a litte C program
that inserted a CR everytime a LF was found and made that to an entry in
/etc/printcap:
if=/usr/local/bin/lpf
