Old message, but I just recently found vDos which is basically DOSBox for
applications, Has excellent dos to windows printer support, uses any ttf and
looks good in any enviornment, etc. I'm using it on an old Paradox v3.5 DOS
database. Could not be happier.

There's a version called vDosPlus that adds 4DOS commands and is completely
free. The default vDos version has an annoying pay to remove popup. With either
one, there's a couple extra files you can download and when you print it just
takes the output and puts it in a .pdf file. Works really nice.

No idea on com port support though, but might be something to look into.
