What's wrong with this:

(defun fresh-line (printcharfun)
  "Output a newline unless already at the beginning of a line.
Value is non-nil if a newline is printed.
Do nothing and return nil if PRINTCHARFUN is a function."
   (or printcharfun (setq printcharfun standard-output))
   (and (not (functionp printcharfun))
	(not (bolp))
	(princ "\n" printcharfun)))

Andreas.
