Moving from LAT printing to TCP/IP printing with DECservers

We are looking at moving away from printing via LAT to our DECservers to
printing via TCP/IP. We have setup the DECserver side and have the
following Unix queue definition.

ptest2|lp121:\
        :fc#0177777:\
        :fs#023:\
        :if=/usr/lbin/xf:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lpd/ptest2err:\
        :lp=_at_ts1046/dec2014:\
        :mx#0:\
        :of=/usr/lbin/lpf:\
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#132:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd/ptest2:\
        :sh:\
        :xc#0177777:\
        :xf=/usr/lbin/xf:\
        :xs#044000:

Everything is working O.K. except only linefeeds are being transmitted
to the printer and not carriage-return/linefeeds as was the case with
LAT.

How can we resolve this? I do not want to change the printer to
substitute linefeeds for carriage-return/linefeeds as this would mean
changing the setup on a lot of printers.
