The code for printing does not change by type of printer. If there's nothing in the print configuration classes provided by C# that help you set up your printer as you'd like, you're probably stuck. Dot matrix is such an out dated technology, that there's no reason to think that C# would add anything especially to support it. If it's possible to communicate with the printer to change it's settings, odds are you'll use a third party library to do it ( if you've looked at the PrintSettings class already and found nothing )
