In the next few days a new beta version of printtool will be released
which will make it alot easier to deal with problems like you are
describing...

Before then, try the following filter:

#!/bin/sh
sed 's/$/'`echo -ne '\r'`'/g'

Thats it. It converts linefeeds (LF) to carraige return/linefeed (CR/LF).

Do you know if this printer supports other formats than plain ASCII,
like PCL? If so you can do alot better than straight text printing.
