   Changing the PRINT QUALITY selection in Preferences should do it.

   If you don't want to do that, try 

      copy * to prt:

      Then type:   <ESC>[2"z<CTRL>-\  (ignore spaces)
         (that's ESC key, [, 2, ", z, hold CTRL and press \)

      You just typed the ISO standard escape sequence for NLQ ON.
      You won't see anything on the screen while typing because
      the "copy * to prt:" has redirected the keyboard to the printer.
      The <CTRL>-\ terminates the * "file" being copied to PRT:
      and brings back normal keyboard IO and your prompt.
 
      Now, if you Type your text file to PRT:, it will be printed
      in near letter quality.
