Printing to serial printer via printserver doing the staircase

Gidday all,

I have been trying to resolve the issue where the line printer (Ancient DEC
LA120) connected via serial port to a print server delivers the familiar
stair case. I know, I know, upgrade to a fast Laser or genicom. We are, but,
budgets are tight and these things are everywhere.

Simply put the printer is only doing linefeed where I require that it do a
carriage-return/linefeed.

I have scanned the archives, I have tried the man pages, I have tried the
standard print filters but have not been able to determine how to translate
the linefeeds into carriage-return/linefeeds.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
