You _can_ write a filter in C or Perl or Python or Awk to do this, and
place it just before /dev/lp0. Sed would be the easiest way to do this,
in my opinion, but I've never been able to get sed to regexp for
characters like 0x0a. But regardless, a filter is the only way to do
what you want without going through lpd.
