appending a FF without getting the trailing /n?

I'm trying to append a FF to end of print job prior to the lp command

I'm using:

(cat - | /usr/mbin/lf2crlf ; echo "^L") | lp -d PR32

This does append a FF, but it also ads a /n after the FF, which
causes the paper to jump one line after a FF, throwing off alignment

Other than prepending a '\n' to make the first page look like the rest
(also stops you from being able to print on the first line).

Thanks
George
