VMS Help SET, PRINTER, Qualifiers, /CR  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /CR
       /NOCR (default)

    Controls whether the printer driver outputs a carriage return
    character. Use this qualifier for printers on which line feeds do
    not imply carriage returns.

    Specify the /NOCR qualifier for printers where the line feed,
    form feed, vertical feed, and carriage return characters empty
    the printer buffer. The /NOCR qualifier causes carriage return
    characters to be held back and output only if the next character
    is not a form feed or vertical tab. Carriage return characters
    are always output on devices that have the carriage return
    function characteristic set.
