This is just a SWAG, but it's normally the case that the first ??? issued by VFP causes a context shift for the print device, which results in a skip to top of page. If this is the case, you can bypass the Windows GDI layer that connects your app to the spooler by using a few API calls. Download File #9957 and use it to print directly to the Epson bypassing the GDI; instead of ???, use the DocWrite method to print the report as a direct replacment:

* Existing code
SET PRINTER TO LPT1:
??? "Now is the time to replace " + CHR(13) + CHR(10)
??? "VFP's ??? with method calls" + CHR(13) + CHR(12)

* Replace with
SET PROC TO DIRPRTCLASS.PRG ADDITIVE
oDirPrt = CREATEOBJ('DirectPrintOutput')
WITH oDirPrt
   .PrinterOpen('LPT1:')
   IF .PrinterIsOpen()
      .DocOpen('MySpoolJob')
      .DocWrite("Now is the time to replace " + CHR(13) + CHR(10))
      .DocWrite("VFP's ??? with method calls" + CHR(13) + CHR(12))
      .DocClose()
   ENDIF
   .PrinterClose()
ENDWITH
