I believe both the client and server ends have to support the "fortran" option; the client sends a verb specifying that column 1 contains CC, and the server does the translation to whatever printer it is driving. Of course "modern" lpr clients don't support this... But surprisingly, the IBM TSO lpr client talking to the Windows 7 lpd server does seem to handle most of the CC properly. No overprinting with +, but the blank, 0, -, and 1 worked as expected. And if I set up a Windows printer as "generic/text only" and "print to file", it really does translate my FBA dataset on MVS to a text file containing LF, FF, and so on on Windows. Not what you'd call convenient, but all standards based.
