you can try xdosemu -D+piT -O to figure out what is going on. Printing via lpr works using a periodic flush of a buffer that is fed by BIOS calls. Direct parallel port access will only work if the DOS application does just that. What is not (yet?) implemented in DOSEMU is DOS app (-> DOS) -> BIOS -> emulated parallel port -> whatever you like or DOS app (-> DOS) -> BIOS -> real parallel port that is, the DOSEMU BIOS directly spools rather than via a port.
