In order for the printer emulation function (to PS etc) to work, make sure the required font file(s) exist. Also, for programs that do not eject a form feed, you may need to manually eject a form feed before the output files are generated, or you can set a non-zero timeout for this to be done automatically. See the following Wiki page for more details on setting up printing in DOSBox-X:

The next version will search for the system fonts in C:\WINDOWS\fonts in addition to the old location.
