Try to send to your "LaserWriter 16/600 PS" not a file in text format, but in
postscript format, I guess the result will be quit different.
pap -p "LaserWriter 16/600 PS" img.ps
for configuring printcap under redhat you can use "printtool"
for the help have a look at http://www.giub.unibe.ch/~eugster/appleprint.html
