I've never used it, but try the following in your config.sys:

country=007,866,d:\...\country.sys
device=d:\..\display.sys con=(EGA,,1)
device=d:\..\printer.sys LPT1=(NUMBER,,1), where NUMBER is equal 4201
for IBM Proprinter & Proprinter XL; 5202 for HP Quietwriter III.

..and autoexec.bat:
keyb rus+,866
mode con:codepage prepare=((866)d:\..\ega.cpi)
mode lpt1:codepage prepare=((866)d:\..\4201.cpi)
nlsfunc
chcp 866

Good Luck, Alex.
