Several people were kind enough to point out that remote printers cannot
benefit from the "-f" option on lpr. The widely recommended way around
this is to pipe the output file via a filter. For us, the best option to
use is the fpr filter, which was suggested by Richard Jackson. I have
tested fpr with lpr and mpage and both now work fine when printing files
that contain FORTRAN carriage control.
