cr flag in /etc/printcap

Hello Managers,

I'm currently trying to use a fax/copier/printer to print from Unix and
OpenVMS.
In fact the printer should be declared with rp and rm, so as a remote
printer.

Postcript files are OK but on text files the carriage return is missing
while the line-feed is there.

On OpenVMS systems I've discovered in the TCP/IP Services 5.0
documentation that there is a cr flag to put in the printcap
configuration file and it's working fine.

On Tru64 Unix there is nothing in the printcap documentation on such a
flag. Does it exist or is it possible to add a basic filter which adds a
cr to lf ?

Thanks

Daniel
