Paul,

Here is the printcap I use for my Ethernet connected LaserJet 4Plus.

hp4|hplj4  :\
        :cm=HP LJ 4+  :\
        :ifhp=model=hp4plus  :\
        :lp=%P%9100  :\
        :if=/usr/lib/filters/ifhp  :\
        :of=/usr/lib/filters/ofhp  :\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P  :\
        :lf=log:\
        :af=acct  :\
        :mx=0:\
        :sf

My printing subsystem is using LPRng 3.6.12-1 and ifhp 3.3.10-3.  The :of line 
may be the line for the crlf that could be missing from you setup.  (It has 
been a long time since I have done much printer setups :)
