CUPS prints jagged, stair-stepped text in RHEL

Issue

• Standard CUPS printer configuration produces only one line of output on HP LaserJet printer.

• We have a text file that looks like the following when displayed on the terminal:

  $ cat test.txt
  one
  two
  three
  

  but when we print the file, it prints in a stair-stepped fashion, like this:

  one
      two
          three
  

• We are printing a text file with NULL ("^@", with hexadecimal value 0x00) characters in the file. Only the first line of the document is printed, or the document is printed in a stair-stepped fashion.

• We have configured the remote printer (HP) on the Linux server with the following command, but when we will print the files just it is printing one line:

  # lpadmin -p LP323JF -E -v lpd://10.1.2.3/LP323JF
  

• Is there a way to pass the content to unix2dos and then send it to printer with out changing the main execution command (cat <PCL file name> | lp -d<pcl printer name>).
