Do you have printers connected to lpt ports or have you mapped a printer to an lpt port on the new Dell for Dos Foxpro to use? Also check the LPT Timeout setting in the registry and change it to fewer seconds...

  \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    \SYSTEM
     \CurrentControlSet
       \Control
         \WOW
           \LPT_timeout

which defines how many seconds after the LPT port has been used that Windows waits before closing the port and flushing the output. This value could be needed for adjusting the timeout when printing from MS-DOS-based applications. Change it to 1.
