You can't bypass windows driver with this type of print. try that:
mytext="Line 1"+Chr(13)+Chr(10)
mytext=mytext+"Line 2"+Chr(13)+Chr(10)
mytext=mytext+"Line 3"+Chr(13)+Chr(10)
mytext=mytext+chr(12) &&------ form feed --------

xport="lpt1"
xfile="myprinter.txt"
StrToFile(mytext,xfile)

DECLARE INTEGER CopyFile IN kernel32;
	STRING lpSrcFile, STRING lpDstFile, INTEGER bFail
CopyFile(m.xfile,m.xport, 0)
>I want to print a report directly to the dot-matrix printer and I want to control the lenght of the print by line feed.
>But when I try to print 2 or more copies even the printer is set to 12"(ex.) the next copy is moved about 2 or 3 lines because of form feed of the windows and after the last copy it prints like an empty page (after SET PRINTER TO).
