Me, too!
There's pretty much nothing simpler than sending ASCII characters out the parallel port.
What have you tried? What have you seen?

So does it print portrait and not landscape?
What emulation is the printer in? It emulates and IBM Proprinter by default, but also can emulate Epson FX. Did the upgrade maybe reset something in the driver in that respect ?
Are you printing through a Windows driver? Did you download the latest Windows 10 driver?
Is now a good time to get them onto laser?
I've had the same problem with other printers on Windows 7 and Terminal Services under Windows 8 server. I went to a different compatible printer.
The other thing you can try, which is really a hack, is to print to a pdf, then print the pdf to the printer.

That's what I was thinking, what driver as you using. I'm on windows 7 and there is still a generic/text only option. If you are printing landscape to say 132 column output your paper size will have to match, which might be the reason you cannot print landscape as it is expecting normal portrait paper. Are you printing from a Fox app or something else?

I would imagine several folks HAVE to stay with pin-printers because of their triplicate carbon paper for additional copies.
Of course, they could abandon that paper stock and simply print multiple copies.

I had a laser printer once. It died just after starting on its second toner cartridge.
I love continuous form paper. It is so nice to be able to read a listing by flipping through it and have the pages stay together.
Of course, they could abandon that paper stock and simply print multiple copies.
And sort them out. It would be great fun if you are printing many invoices per day. Custom invoice paper can have different colours for each layer.
Sincerely,
