Printing text with ascii control characters

Hi,
   I have the following situation: I need to print text files from legacy applications with ascii control characters (that define font size, text orientation, etc) to several HP Laserjet network printers. I've tried many models/drivers (postscript, pcl, raw, etc) but the only one that properly recognizes those control characters is "Generic text-only printer".
   The problem is that I also need to print other contents (pdf mainly), and can't do it with text-only printing (works ok with postscript or pcl drivers).
   How can I print BOTH kind of contents right? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
