I've been away for a while, so I am just trying this now.

Instead, use
foomatic-configure to set up/configure your print queue(s) for CUPS.
It's simple to use.

I read the man page, and configured the printer using foomatic- configure using the following command:

  foomatic-configure -s cups -n <printername> -N "HP LaserJet 8150" \
  -c socket://<printername> -d Postscript -p HP-LaserJet_8150

It's working much better. Printing from any GUI application works just fine. Printing plain text files from the command line using lpr now properly includes carriage returns. However, the first 1.5 or so characters are chopped off the left margin (the second half of the second character is the first thing that prints), and the lines are truncated if they exceed the width of the page. Now I know I can use something like enscript, which works just fine, but I was wondering if there is a way to configure the printer so that lpr doesn't chop off the beginning and end of the line.

Thanks,
Alfred
