Summary: 


The problem lies in the handshaking.
DOS does none for you. AST superspool print spool software works
fine for this, it allows Xon/Xoff handshaking.

the other approach is to run the serial port at a speed that the printer
can keep up with. Slightly lower throughput but a vanilla solution.
