The method of Gerard van Loenhout will also work, you would have to use Epson ESC codes instead of PCL codes.
You say you have REM’d out all LPT1 printer settings in cofig.txt and the report is printed out to the parallel port. That can’t be, if nothing is set in config.txt, the DOSPrinter printer selection dialog will popup or vDos complains that PCL6.exe can’t be found if the printer output is recognized as PCL. You left a LPT1= setting in config.txt, or DP prints to LPT2 or LPT3 with a printer setting. Eventually have a look in the vDos folder what LPTx.asc and LPTx.txt is created when DP prints. Then remove or REM out that LPTx setting in config.txt. Without an associated LPTx setting, you can only get: 1. A DOSPrinter selection dialog: the printer output isn’t recognized as PCL, send me a copy of the LPTx.asc file. 2. An error message from vDos that it couldn’t start PCL6.exe, it has to be in the vDos folder. 3. Adobe Reader (or some other standard PDF reader) with your report opened.
