Two options:  

1) Make sure your printer is set to interpret a bare line feed as CRLF

2) Double check your printer driver

No, three options! =^_^=

3) Use the following shell script, saved into two separate files as
indicated, on your data:

unix2dos:
#!/bin/sh

ThisDir="/home/ke6isf/bin"

case $# in
0 )
	sed -f ${ThisDir}/unix2dos.sed
	;;
* )
	TMP="/tmp/`basename ${0}`.$$"
	for f in $*
	do
		if	[ -f ${f} ]
		then
			sed -f ${ThisDir}/unix2dos.sed < ${f} > ${TMP}
			mv ${f} ${f}.unix
			cp ${TMP} ${f}
		fi
	done
	rm -f ${TMP}
	;;
esac
(EOF)

unix2dos.sed:
s/$//
(EOF)

(if your display shows the second argument as an odd character, please
note that it should be 's/$/(CR)/'.)

Adjust the shell script as necessary.
