Firefox printing incorrectly to printer with Generic /Text Only driver

I have a printer that uses the Generic / Text Only driver, and everytime I try and print to it with Firefox, a carrage return is added after every space. For example this text:

<
875 000 096 099
>

Gets printed like this:

<
875 
     000 
        096 
           099
>

The text gets printed correctly if I use IE9 or notepad. Any suggestions?
