I think it will depend on what printer language the printer is set for...if it is a dot matrix, it will probably be some Epson emulation, but I am not sure.

It sounds like you want to set the printer font to 16.66 cpi. I have the codes for HP LaserJets, but for other printers I would have to look them up. Once you have the codes, that is how you print them...I actually print to a file and then copy the file to the port...

The printer control codes should be in the printer's manual.
