Is there a "text book" solution to providing CR for parallel printers
that need it?  I could write a small C program, or use sed or awk,
but it seems like there ought to be an expected way to do something
which I would think is rather commonly needed.  I checked the docs
for printcap, lpd, lpr, lpt, and lptcontrol (thought maybe the driver
could it itself), but didn't find any clear clues.

Thanks for your help!
