It sounds like it's working, but you need an input filter to convert
line feeds to CR/LF, and then need to add a form feed at the end of the
job.  I know the Handbook section on printing talks about the LF/CRLF
issue, can't recall if it mentions adding form feeds.  Take care of the
stairstepping first, then form feeds will be easy.
