As Jaime says, you can use a VFP report.

On the other hand, if you want fast printing on a dot-matrix printer, you may want to print in text mode.

In this case, an easier way to send output directly to the printer is with the "???" command. SET PRINTER FONT won't affect the output; you would have to send printer codes directly to the printer, also with "???" (perhaps in a single "???" command). You will have to check your printer manual, what fonts are available (built-in, into the printer). For fast printing in text mode, you can only use the fonts that the printer supports.

Important limitation: if you do all this, your program will work only on one kind of printer, for instance, "Epson dot-matrix".

What is wrong with your code? A command like SET PRINTER FONT will only affect output of commands like "?" and "??", but not something you send with low-level commands to the printer.
