The problem he has with this approach apparently is sending the file as straight ASCII - TYPE, like most other VFP internal approaches, will invoke the GDI and interpret the text through the printer driver, using whatever default font is selected for output to the printer, normally a Windows font, which ends up being sent graphically.
