Rather than patching lpt.c, and re-patching it again, if someone does
some fix to it (there seems to be a patch-all-isa-drivers daily strategy
coming up now :-)), you might try out the following (written down
from memory, so might need some fixup) to get CRLFs to your printer:

create an executable script named /PATHNAME/FOO containing:
#!/bin/sh
awk '{print $0,"\r"}'
exit 0

and add to the printcap entry of your printer the resource
:if=/PATHNAME/FOO:

Beware of printing binary files through that filter, though,
better make another entry without that processing filter.

Hope that helps
