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.
