[LUG] Old Printers

 

I've got a couple of old DM printers that still work and, on an old dos system 
can kill a forest in a few seconds.
However under CUPS all their input is from ps and you can grow a forest in the 
time it takes to print a page!
Is there a sensible way of setting the printers to just take 'ascii' so I can 
print log files/source code etc  in moments  using these archaic beasts and 
still print pretty colours using CUPS?
