Printer code problem

Hello,
I am having a little problem printing files in redhat 7.3. Basically I have some reports that need to be printed but they contain some printer code. For example I have ^[(s7B inside the file to start bolding text however, when the file is printed, the ^[(s7B does not get recognised and
Ÿ(s7B is printed on the report instead of setting bold to on.

It seems to me that the ASCII(27) character is getting switched for an ASCII(159) character.

(I also put ASCII(159) in the file for a test and it was printed as ASCII(131) and some of the report was not printed.)

Does anybody have any ideas?
The printer is a hp4000.

Thanks
Jason Fournier
