[nflug] printing color terminal output

I'm using a color diff utility called dwdiff to colorize the differences 
between two files, it works perfectly. Now I'd like to send that 
colorized output to a color printer but instead of printing the colored 
text the ascii codes for the colors are printing. Any thoughts on how I 
can get around this?

This is an example the number "1:47.01" is red and "1:47.30" is green 
but the printed text is like the second line.

Run Time: 1:47.01 1:47.30
Run Time: ^[[0;31;1m1:47.01^[[0m ^[[0;32;1m1:47.30^[[0m

Thanks
