>> ... Do I just download the .txt files to my computer and then go into Dos 6.2 rename the files with a .prn suffix and thereafter should be able to 'run' it from the C:\ in my computer? [and edit to 16.67 not 12 pitch for the characters] ...
You don't 'run' the file, you copy the contents of the file to the target printer port.
How to do this depends on how the printer is connected:
- For a direct LPT1 connection, you'd use the 'copy /b' command (with the appropriate parameters).
- For a direct USB connection, you'd use 'copy /b' after first associating a dummy 'LPT1' with an appropriate Windows printer share name (using the 'net use' command).
- For an ethernet (network) connection, you'd use the 'lpr' command.
You should be able to find plenty of web pages explaining use of these commands within a DOS 'command prompt' window within a Windows XP user session.

Your code snippet shows a representation of the actual contents of the file; my code snippet shows an analysis of those (same) contents.

Congratulations; I'm a mere sprog (will be 65 next week).
>> ... Where would I be able to download (?) Defaults.pjl file ...
No idea, sorry.
From a quick perusal of the (lengthy) referenced web page, it would seem that this file merely contains a superset of the 'commands' in my two sample files, with commands for most (all?) possible default settings.
