Michael:
Most printers have either an escape sequence (a code sent to the
printer) or a switch that will tell the printer whether or not to print a
linefeed when a carriage return is recieved. In addition, most word
processors or print programs can be told to send a CR only or a CR/LF
combination. It would surprise me if you had to write some sort of
printer driver, but if you do, simply send the escape code to initialize
the printer and set it to the proper CR/LF mode before the file is printed.
