The print spooler has to send carriage returns (as it would to most
other printers) unless the application knows the laserjet positioning
codes.  Under sysV, that would be "stty onlcr", but I don't know
about BSD.  There have been several ascii->postscript filters posted
to the net that work nicely with the 890.  In postscript mode the
carriage returns are not needed.
