Printer escape codes

I am having a problem printing the following file. What it is supposed to print
is a label for a van salesman, with the number (54577) printed in large,bold
lettering with a product list underneath. When viewed in Unix, this file has a
lot of escape chatacters( I assume they are printer control codes).
   The first time I printed it (using ('lpr -Phpl19 54577') , the output was as
it should be. Every subsequent time, it printed blank apart from a 'Print date'
and 'Time' column at the top of the page. !! Why would it print different
second time around?
  Perhaps someone can tell me how I need to format the print output (using a
command line parameter with 'lpr', or by modifying some parameter in the
printcap file?)

Regards - Tom
