Assuming that your printer driver can handle postscript, try enscript
with a fixed width font:

pr -o4 -t myfile | enscript --font Courier@12 -B | lpr

If your printer doesn't speak postscript, but does speak PDF,
just add another step to the above pipe:

Works like a charm...I'm in business.  I didn't even have to use 'pr' or
'lpr'

enscript --font Times-Roman@12 -B  myfile_to_print

worked fine.

Thanks, everyone.
