Problem Description: 

 - LPD should print 2 pages but it prints only one (it doesn't interprets the ^L).
 - LPD in binary mode: the printer stays waiting for a FF (Form Feed) on last page.
   you get the last page of the first job joined with the first page of the second job.
 - LPD does not manage a file with accented characters as a text file ( these 
   characters are filtered and printed incorrectly).
   If accented characters are in the first 512 bytes of the file , LPD in auto mode
   manage it as a binary file.
 - LPD must be configured to "Binary File Always Assumed" when printing ascii files 
   with Control Characters in them.
 - Number of lines per page needs to be adjusted.
 - The selected fonts need to be the printer defaults.
