An hour and a half for transfer at PEK is pretty tight for their standard (CA recommends 3hrs for PEK transfers) but if CA or CO allowed that ticket to be sold, it should be OK.
CA at ICN should be able to print your CO BP. I had CA at KUL print my BP for CO when I transfered at PEK.
If they don't print them at ICN for you, be ready for a LONG process to get your BP's at PEK. There is one transfer desk for all airlines, they don't speak much english or other languages at all. They took about 45 minutes to find my reservation on CA when I flew in on CO from EWR.
As for the immigration process, there are two international transfer immigration lines, they are to the far left and far right in the immigration hall. They are not marked well at all, and in general are poorly staffed.
Once clear of immigration, you go through a brief security checkpoint that does not have a long wait at all due to the fact that immigration takes forever
Once past that, you will be in the International Departure Area and it's cake from there.
You're baggage will be checked through, as CA and CO interline.
I would budget at least 1:30 to go through the process, however, I had my BP's on my return it only took about 30 minutes to go through immigration.
Good luck!
