OT: Linux/CUPS/stair-stepping

I'm trying to print out a diff of some input tables, so I can take it
with me to lunch (how's *that* for tying something to filepro? :-), and
I've just configured the LJ1100 on my Windows server to be printable to
from my laptop, running SuSE 10.2 and CUPS.  I put it in unfiltered
mode, since that's what one usually does when feeding filePro to CUPS
and I'm having the problem I usually do:

printing straight from the lp command staircases: there are no CRs with
the LFs.  filePro does those itself, if you tell it to, but when
googling through several sets of search results, I find lots of
people asking, and no one answering.

Does anyone here know what the hot setup is for allowing text files to
lp correctly to a PCL printer, and still letting filePro itself print
properly?

Cheers,
