printer setup issue
I am a linux newbie who is in over his head.... We have a 3rd party company hosting our servers and they are running RHEL 4 (actaully is is OEL, but Oracle just rebranded RH) they installed a bunch of printers on the servers there. Our application prints but the formatt is off. When we had the printers here we were running AIX 5.3 and the printers were installed as generic ASCII. they sent me a link to this utility called printpro. when I look at the printer it is set up as generic Postscript. I tried to go into print pro as an admin and reconfigure the printer, however there is no option other then Postscript. So I think it might be how the printer was installed. I looked at the /etc/printcap file and this is the line it has for the printer in question:
LS197-RCV01|:rm=aupodnshs02:rp=LS197-RCV01:
is there a way I can see if the printer was installed as a postscript or ASCII and how can I change it.

colcrt

COLCRT(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 COLCRT(1)

NAME

     colcrt -- filter nroff output for CRT previewing

SYNOPSIS

     colcrt [-] [-2] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

     Colcrt provides virtual half-line and reverse line feed sequences for terminals without such capability, and on which overstriking is
     destructive.  Half-line characters and underlining (changed to dashing `-') are placed on new lines in between the normal output lines.

     Available options:

     -	     Suppress all underlining.	This option is especially useful for previewing allboxed tables from tbl(1).

     -2      Causes all half-lines to be printed, effectively double spacing the output.  Normally, a minimal space output format is used which
	     will suppress empty lines.  The program never suppresses two consecutive empty lines, however.  The -2 option is useful for sending
	     output to the line printer when the output contains superscripts and subscripts which would otherwise be invisible.

EXAMPLES

     A typical use of colcrt would be

     tbl exum2.n | nroff -ms | colcrt - | more

SEE ALSO

     nroff(1), troff(1), col(1), more(1), ul(1)

BUGS

     Should fold underlines onto blanks even with the '-' option so that a true underline character would show.

     Can't back up more than 102 lines.

     General overstriking is lost; as a special case '|' overstruck with '-' or underline becomes '+'.

     Lines are trimmed to 132 characters.

     Some provision should be made for processing superscripts and subscripts in documents which are already double-spaced.

HISTORY

     The colcrt command appeared in 3.0BSD.

AVAILABILITY

     The colcrt command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
