While such a program is a no-brainer, I was thinking - how about using the
Shell copy 'cp' command to a linked device?  Something like:  "cp binfile
/dev/LP"
 
Since 'cp' is probably probably using the posix library fwrite(), '\n' would
either have to be in the text, or explictly added on the end of each record.
With a binary source file, I'm not sure that this wouldn't solve the problem.
 
Can anyone confirm?
