Unfortunately, all the codepages (CPI/CPX files) that you have created
have an indicator inside them that they are for DISPLAY only (and not
for PRINTER). And that is because the way in which you insert a
codepage into a printer is different from the way you insert it into a
graphic adapter. For printers, you may have to embedd certain
commands, and the CPI/CPX files that you've created are most likely
not valid for printers (even if we had some printer-specific code).
Perhaps you can use program similar to yours to create
PRINTER-SPECIFIC (and not DISPLAY specific) CPI/CPX files.
ANd whoever tries this, I would please ask to contribute it for the
FD-DISPLAY project, so that we have a FD-PRINTER.SYS too.

I used to (prolly still do) have a tool that could, using raw CGA fonts,
output any codepage to an Epson-compatible printer using its graphics
mode...
... that's not very useful for printer.sys though :(
