I don't know about the Canon, but the HPs will process carriage returns DOS-style, so you get the stairstep effect unless you send an escape code to change the mode first. I believe that code is in the printing section of the Handbook. I'd hate to waste an 855C on plain text; it's a fast color printer. We have one on our home machine and it cooks. One of the better HPs of the post-500C era. If the Canon doesn't stairstep and is sufficiently fast for you I'd suggest it.
