If you look at the man page of unix2dos you find these examples:
Get input from stdin and write output to stdout.
unix2dos
Convert and replace a.txt. Convert and replace b.txt.
unix2dos a.txt b.txt
This means that unix2dos will only print results to stdout if no arguments are
given and the input will then be taken from stdin. So when you give a file as
an argument the output of unix2dos will be printed to that file. What you
have to type to print the results to lpr is hence:
# cat env-lp-test | unix2dos | lpr -l
/Bo
