Naomi,
For the purpose of printing text files, I think using a very simple custom report that prints from a temp cursor will give you the most flexibility of all - especially regarding control over landscape and portrait and printer font.
I know your text files already exist, just load the text file you want printed into a one memo field cursor and report from this cursor.

>>Another idea: Why not create a simple VFP report that sets landscape orientation and that contains a single stretched text field. Load your text file contents into a one record/one memo field cursor used as the source table for your report.

>>Added benefits to above technique:
>>- your own custom headers and footers (page numbers!)
>>- control over font name and style by hacking your FRX
>>- print preview option
>>- PDF option if using XFRX or other 3rd party report tools
