We have a problem using local printing in MS-DOS kermit.

We are using standard Vt100 printer escape sequence to direct output
from PC screen directly to printer port. On which is attached a small
slip printer. It has DTR connected. The Pc is communicating with a
UNIX host machine. The objective is to print a file from the host
machine onto the local printer.

The problem : For large files sent,  the printed output contains
corrupted information. (using the PC at the DOS prompt  -   copy <text
file> >com1  it seems to print the same amount of text to the printer
ok without corruption. However using the Print command does lead to
corruption)

Is there any way in the Kermit set commands to prevent this problem??
