   I would use the visual administration tools to get started. Then go to
/usr/spool/lp/interface and edit the filter file that is there to match
your needs.  It seems to me that the Apple Laserwriters will print a file
as ASCII if it can't find a "%!" on the first line first two columns.
If those two characters are there then it treats the file as PostScript.
