Is there a way to change the default system font size for printing from DOS compatibility window?

The problem is that we have some DOS programs that were telling an Epson
LX-300 to print in condensed mode.

We replace the Epson with a Dell 1710 Laser printer but it does not
understand (and seems to ignore) the condensed type instruction. Changing
the DOS programs is impossible. I can already see myself contacting Dell
about this but I thought it might be worthwhile to ask.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks in advance.

you may want to have a look at Printfil, which can intercept your DOS job
and forward it to any Windows printer (translating the escape sequences
embedded in the job).

You can find more info and a free trial version at http://www.printfil.com

With Dell's help, I ended up changing the Default Graphics Mode in Printer
Properties from "Automatic" to "GL/2". That fixed the problem.
