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

These opinions will not be those of UNI until it pays my retainer.
