You need to configure your printer to insert a carriage return (<cr>)
with the linefeed. This should have been part of your printer
configuration script.
FWIW, my printer won't print straight text, I've relented and pipe stuff
through mpage:
$ mpage -2 < file | lpr
...which saves paper anyhow (two pages per sheet).
