Since the line-feed code which advances the paper is Ctrl-J, the
symptoms you describe sound like a particular bit -- the second most
significant -- is sometimes seen as 1 when it should be 0. When I've
seen problems like this before, the printer *cable* has generally
been the culprit. [Cheap/defective printer cables can produce plenty
of really strange results!]
