I doubt my packages will help, and changes to the DOSBox-X video menu will have no effect on print output. The most likely way to get the correct results with Epson output is to print with DOSPrinter: However, it's at least possible that you'll get good results by using vDos instead of DOSBox-X: |

If you don't have graphics and not a WYSIWYG print out, WinPrint is free and working fine with ESC/P support. (Tried Italic, underline, and double-wide) |

I'm working with some ancient accounting software that prints to a dot matrix printer. Previously I had this software working in XP Mode on windows 7. The printer is an Epson LX-350. When using XP mode the printer was shared and then bound to LPT1: using the net use command. This printed in a very readable font without issue.
Now, working with dosbox-x, the software works correctly and prints to the printer. However, the printed font is nearly unreadable. I've tried changing the font from Video menu and choosing Select TrueType Font. I'm not sure if this changes the font on the printed output or not. Is there a different way to manipulate what font is used on the printed output?
