Some printers will have a switch for <nl> vs <cr><nl> line
terminators.  My lexmark 1255 has such a switch and its the easiest
way to get things printing under PCL (ascii-mode).

You can also put a filter in the printers data stream.  Just add a
if=/usr/local/sbin/myfilter to the /etc/printcap and put a <nl> to
<cr><nl> filter in that file.  (eg. sed -e 's/$/^M/')
