So you have Windows 3.1 on your PC?
MS-DOS Kermit transparent printing does work, as you can demonstrate to
your satisfication by telling it to SET PRINTER FOO.BAR, and verifying that
printed material goes into the FOO.BAR file.
So this is evidently one of those annoying DOS-vs-Windows printer issues.
Windows Terminal is a native Windows 3.1 program, MS-DOS Kermit is a DOS
program, and is forbidden access to Windows objects. For all I know, your
printer might be a Winprinter.
In any case, you might be able to make this work by trying different printer
printer names: SET PRINTER LPT1:, etc.
