I am able to print from an old dos based inventory program using dos box svn baum. how ever i need to change the width settings to 100 instead of 85 in order for the invoices to look somewhat proper.
dosbox also adds in to sets off characters into the invoice "4S" and 0S"

also randomly it will print a single page invoice across mulitple pages

any ideas on fixes to these problems?

i have tried this on a win 7 x64 as well as win xp(i know xp runs dos programs but i wanted to see if it was a win 7 issue)

You can't!
Dosbox is for games and you won't get support for commercial software.

would it be dosbox criteria or would it be the inventory program not recognizing the emulation properly?

DOSBox is intended for gaming, so printing obviously is of little/no importance.
You could try vDos, http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdos/.
It will give you flexible printing to Window devices and more.
