I read the man page, and configured the printer using foomatic- 
configure using the following command:

   foomatic-configure -s cups -n <printername> -N "HP LaserJet 8150" \
   -c socket://<printername> -d Postscript -p HP-LaserJet_8150

It's working much better.  Printing from any GUI application works  
just fine.  Printing plain text files from the command line using lpr  
now properly includes carriage returns.  However, the first 1.5 or so  
characters are chopped off the left margin (the second half of the  
second character is the first thing that prints), and the lines are  
truncated if they exceed the width of the page.  Now I know I can use  
something like enscript, which works just fine, but I was wondering  
if there is a way to configure the printer so that lpr doesn't chop  
off the beginning and end of the line.

Thanks,
Alfred
