[ale] Printing Suggestions

At the office we have an HP Laserjet 8100L.  I'm used to apsfilter which
has worked great in the past.  I'm trying to print to this booger using
standard lpr.  When I "lpr test.txt" it looks nice, except for lines that
go off the edge, they just disappear, no line wrap or anything.  When
I have to print reports I don't want to go in and manually clean up
the text since I just want to scan down it or have for personal reference
in a meeting.  

I've tried using the "raw" and "auto" interfaces.  Also tried diffent
drives, but it seems none of them work.

Cups doesn't appear to have a valid version for Debian right now, is it
worth converting an RPM and configuring?  Is there anything better?

:wq!

 perl -e 'print $i=pack(c5,(41*2),sqrt(7056),(unpack(c,H)-2),oct(115),10);'
