Underscores are underlined when printed in RHEL 6

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When printing a file with an underscore ("_"), the printed page has underlines under all of the underscores. The command is "lp -d <printer queue> <filename>".
  • Why is the underscore underlined when printed via Linux, whereas when the file is viewed via a file editor it is just a regular underscore?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4
