Yes (except for the dates),  in addition I have  ircomm0 ... 161,0 ircomm1 ... 161,1.
Maybe you don't notice the problem because  postscript isn't disturbed by additional 
white space.

Demonstrating the problem with a HP6P or HP5MP:
generate "file" with the following 8 characters:   "\ra\nb\n\rc\f"
(\r = 0x0D = carriage return, \n = 0x0A = new line, \f = 0x0C = form feed)

cat file > /dev/irlpt0 : via ir        : letters left aligned in the output (incorrect)
cat file > /dev/lp0      : via cable : b sticks out to the right in the output 
(correct)

PS: I didn't understand the workaround with stty mentioned in a previous mail.
