Quick question people.

I'm attempting to send text output to a HP Laserjet 2 printer.
However, the output is stepped.

This, I understand, is due to incorrect filtering;
I've tried setting up ifhp, and setting "filter=" and/or "if=" to it, but to 
no avail.
I've tried the basic perl script, thus;

#!/usr/bin/perl
while(<STDIN>){chop $_; print "$_\r\n";};

This doesn't work either, yet it works perfectly well if I run the script 
manually.
i.e. I create a crlf'd file using the perl script, and then send that to 
the printer...

All the paths, permissions, etc are correct.

Anyone any ideas ?

The nice thing about Windows is that it doesn't just crash.
It displays a dialogue box and lets you click OK first.
