So how do i get to print in modern printers from a machine which only has ms-dos. Please note that for some reasons I don't want to use a windows pc.

Since DOS can't talk to USB, you'll have to get a Parallel->USB adapter cable.

I'm not quite sure how the cable knows or cares what language you're using.

Dos the current DOS system have a parallel port?

You must have special program utlities for code page translations.There is a lot of special utilities: printfil, dosprn, dosprint etc.
I choose a dosprn utility for my customer. It could print DOS reports directly into USB printers without interconnectors.
