I recall reading in something.virus that at least one virus infects
the BIOS so that sequences sent to the printer are corrupted in a
diabolical fashion, ie. only certain, random sequences are corrupted,
etc.  This is NOT a Turbo only virus, it seems all output to the
printer would be effected.  If other printer sequences are Ok, like
COPY Numbers.txt Prn: ,etc. then I guess you're virus free.
As always : Check your dip switchs.
