Problem with lpr



hi,

/etc/printcap file is as follows:

lp|printer:\
          :mx#0:\
          :rp=printer:\
          :rm=sillibox:\
          :sd=/var/spool/lpd/remote:\
          :pw#80:\
          :sh:


and the problem is, 
when i print a text file, the second line on the page
starts at the second row but at the column where the first line's last
character was. so for example when i print a file with the following 
content:

this is the first line
this is the second one
this is the third one
this is the forth one

the output is like:

this is the first line
                      this is the second one
                                            this is the third one
                                                                  this is the 
forth one



What do you think the problem might be?

thanks in advance
baris.
