SHOW LOG DCPS$<queue_name>_PARAMETER

for instance:

 "DCPS$LASER_PARAMETER" = "DATA=ANSI"

 "DCPS$LASER_PS_PARAMETER" = "DATA=POSTSCRIPT"

This provides the default data type for the queue.

If I print to "LASER", it is interpreted as ANSI. If I print to
LASER_PS, it gets treated as postcript input.  Both end up on the same
printer.
