You've just experienced the famous HP 'stairstepping' problem. By default HP printers are set up to require CR/LF as an end-of-line indication, while UNIX just sends CR. There is either jumper settings or an escape code in your manual that will change the EOL setting. I don't know what it is for the LJII off the top of my head.
