Stair stepping

Is there a command line flag to lpr or a utility similar to the Unix 'xtod' command to fix stair stepping when printing?

Under Unix I would:

# cat textfile | xtod | lp -d lineprinter

Anything like that for linux?

Thanks

Sounds like unix2dos -- searching for that should bring you some reimplementations in shell script if you don't have that exact command available.
