This is because printers designed for PCs expect the MS-DOS <cr><lf> at
the end of a line instead of <lf>. There information about this in either
the Printing-HOWTO or the Printing-Usage-HOWTO (I forget which). The
easiest way is to install either apsfilter or magicfilter, either of which
will handle both text or PostScript files (using ghostscript).
