this is an "auto" bsd/dos lp filter i whipped up ...
can anyone tell me why it prints a blank line at the
beginning of each document (not page, document ...)?

read line1
if [ `echo $line1|grep ^M` ]; then
echo $line1 && cat && echo ^L && exit 0
else { echo $line1 && cat; } | sed s/$/^M/ && echo ^L && exit 0
fi
exit 2
