Additionally, the one of the printouts that prints a vertical line from the 'extended character set' is printing instead a garbage character instead of the vertical line. This is on a Panasonic KX-P2124 dot matrix. I had them load Ansi.sys in the config.nt, but that didn't seem to solve the problem.

Mike,
As I remember Dot matrix printers either use IBM or Esc-P sequence to define bold, pitch etc. Could you check if all those printers are using the same set.
If my memory serving right printers.dbf should have definitions for IBM and Epson Esc-P set.
