We successfully emulate a unix-type printer with these lines:

$! This printer is a Printronix P600.
$
$	set dev lpa0:/spool
$	set printer lpa0: /unknown /width=132 /page=0 /nocr /ff /lowercase -
                          /nopassall /nowrap /noprintall

$

It could be you missed the "/unknown".  

Both Dataproducts and Printronix printers can be set up to skip lines
at the fold in the "hardware".  DEC software drivers usually require 
this to be turned off. Yours is probably already off, but if the above
lines do not handle it ...
