I found this while searching for a dot-matrix printer emulator:

Pricey, but should work.

This guy seems to have solved the problem:

As this one has:

This appears to be a free download, so you might talk this guy into 
sharing his code for printer emulation.

 The dmp-105 is supported by almost all CoCo programs, so I thought it 
would be a good one to emulate. It's sad that windows made printers 
''dumb'' - the first inkjets that my uncle got back in the 90's would 
work with the coco, but later on, they starting depending upon windows 
and the pc's cpu to handle the nitty gritty and so could no longer be 
attached to the good old coco...
