Esc-P or Alt-P convert linefeeds into spaces, and spaces into linefeeds,
it doesn't actually insert or delete any characters.

static void strip_newlines (unsigned char *t, int size)
{
    unsigned char *p = t;
    while (size--) {
        *p = *p == '\n' ? ' ' : *p;
        p++;
    }
}

As you can see strip_newlines() doesn't actually remove anything, it
only changes linefeeds into spaces. Is this a bug? I think so myself.
