That is an escape sequence to turn LF into CRLF otherwise a laser printer would print the entire report on the first line, and probably not eject the page, leaving you with the impression that nothing went to the printer.
You could try this for a printer interface.
Create a new printer, local using /dev/null for the device, and dumb for the interface.
Modify the /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces/destination to look like the following.
Where 'office' is the IP/hostname of the printer, and LPT1 is the queue name of the jetdirect.

lp
lp(1) General Commands Manual lp(1)Name
lp - send requests to an LP line printer
Syntax
lp [-c] [-d dest] [-n number] [-] [files]
Description
The command arranges for the named files and associated information (collectively called a request) to be printed by a line printer. If no
file names are mentioned, the standard input is assumed. When a file name is designated by a minus sign (-) it stands for the standard
input and may be supplied on the command line in conjunction with named files. The order in which files appear is the same order in which
they are printed.
This command exists for X/OPEN compatibility.
Options
The following options to may appear in any order and may be intermixed with file names:
-c Makes copies of the files to be printed immediately when is invoked. Normally, files are not copied, but are linked whenever
possible. If the -c option is not given, then the user should be careful not to remove any of the files before the request has
been printed in its entirety. It should also be noted that without the -c option, any changes made to the named files after
the request is made but before it is printed are reflected in the printed output.
-d dest Chooses dest as the printer that is to do the printing. If dest is a printer, then the request is printed on that specific
printer. By default, dest is taken from the environment variable PRINTER if it is set. Otherwise, a default destination, lp,
is used.
-n number Prints number copies (default of 1) of the output.
Files
/etc/passwd personal identification
/etc/printcap printer capabilities data base
/usr/lib/lpd* line printer daemons
/usr/spool/* directories used for spooling
/usr/spool/*/cf* daemon control files
/usr/spool/*/df* data files specified in cf files
