CUPS Text Wrapping

I was wondering if any users had experienced the following problem with 
CUPS RHEL 3/Fedora 1.0

I have a large number of Fedora clients printing to a RHEL 3 CUPS 
server for their printing needs. Printing PostScript files works like a 
charm, but I can't seem to get plaintext files to print correctly. 
Instead of wrapping the lines when they extend past the right margin 
they are getting cut off.

Using enscript seems to work, but I can't tell my large amount of users 
to change their printing habits just yet.

Incidentally, this problem does not occur when Fedora Core 1 is running 
as the main CUPS server, so I assume it's a problem with the plaintext 
print filter... maybe texttops?
