There are times when it's best to handle printing in a device-independent way. There are times, however, when device-dependent code is the only practical way to do things.

A typical dot-matrix printer can quickly output monospaced text at 10, 12, or 17 characters/inch and 6 or 8 lines/inch; such text will be far more legible than any sort of graphics Windows could produce with it at anything resembling comparable speed. While such printers are regarded as obsolete in some contexts, there are other situations where they have considerable advantages. They can print multi-part forms, multi-page printouts are automatically fastened together without stapling, and they can run thousands of pages without reloading.

It looks like this application works by creating a text file and then using a DOS batch file to print it. Without seeing what the DOS program is doing, it's hard to say exactly what your problem is. My guess would be that the default character/line spacing and page margins on the laser printer are different from those used by the dot-matrix.
