If you send an ASCII file to the printer, they are only terminated with CR's at
the end of line. If your printer were setup not to add linefeeds, then your
lines would over type each other. Try this:

1) Set up the printer descriptor to ADD line feeds

2) Turn auto-LF off in the printer (I used to use a display command
   in my folks' DMP105 to achieve this.. if you have a dip switch, all
   the better).

This way, you have full software control over linefeeds... see if that works
better.
