Unix uses a LF at ends of lines. On the hp printers, a CR must be
supplied as well. You need a printer filter of some type or another--i
use magicfilter on debian (there's never been a printer directly hooked
to my FreeBSD box).
It's fairly easy to get .ps output running with ghostscript. After
that, if you can't get plain text configured with a filter, you can use
a2ps as your print command
