For the Tandy printers which did not have a dip switch for this, the following
small TSR can be used:
begin 666 printer.com
MZ0@`$`(`````"@"\FO_'!@4!F/^]_O^)+@<!_.A+`+@`3,TA``````CD=1H)
MTG46/`IU#BZ`/GX`#74&HGX`,.3/+J)^`"[_+H``7EA:6QZ.V[0ES2$?_^:T

MNH0`4KH7`%+HC/_IH/];B@<PY$-34`'#6%I3B=/I(0"X#0#H"0"X"@#I`P`!
M``"BX@&T0+D!`+KB`8L>X`'-(<.)P8G:BQ[@`;1`S2'#6UE?7N,&C-B.P/.D
"_^.B
`
end

This will work for all programs which use the BIOS for printing.
