I have similar problem before. But I was creating a text file through reportwriter (i.e. I print the report to a file instead of a printer) in window 95 for data download. I get around with it by using a batch file to strip the CR or by using PLSQL to create the file instead.
You may want to consider first printing the output to file, then do the substitution or striping by batch file.
And print the file afterwards.
