[comp.sys.atari.8bit] printer drivers

hi...

i have a smith-corona tp-1 printer and i want to use it with atari-writer.
the problem is that it witll only line-feed when atariwriter sends out a
chr(155), and not carriage return.  i have solved the problem in the past
by saving the file to a file, and running a basic program that formats the
pages and send a chr(13) (^M) at the end of a line.   my question is: is 
there a printer driver publicly available that will do this from atari-writer?
i'm using a pretty generic printer interface, and i have a p:r:connection
that i'm only using for serial i/o but could use as a printer interface also
(if i get a cable).  i've only had this problem with the tp-1, and not my
seikosha sp-1000, so it's apparently some difference in how the sp1 handles
CRLF.

thanks,
