You need to get a driver for the printer in a version that is compatible with your version of Windows. If no driver is available then you will need to write one yourself.

f you have access to the RAS SDK, try using the PrintOutputController PrintReport method instead. I had a similar problem using PrintToPrinter, and substituting with this alternate method did the trick for me. See following code example:
Changed:
String^ crPrinterName = gcnew String(szPrinterName);

myReportDocument->PrintOptions->PrinterName = crPrinterName;
myReportDocument->PrintToPrinter(1, false,0,0);
TO:
String^ crPrinterName = gcnew String(szPrinterName);
CrystalDecisions::ReportAppServer::Controllers::PrintOutputController^ crPrintOutCon = myReportDocument->ReportClientDocument->PrintOutputController;
CrystalDecisions::ReportAppServer::Controllers::PrintReportOptions^ crPrintReportOpt = gcnew PrintReportOptions;
crPrintReportOpt->PrinterName = crPrinterName;
crPrintOutCon->PrintReport(crPrintReportOpt);
You might need to refer to the RAS SDK documentation, or check here to start off: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10b840c0-623f-2b10-03b5-9d1913866b32?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true

I am also using Printronix + IMP Printer for this. If I a guessing it right, the IMP Printer is connected to a Parallel Port. Have you tried sending raw data i.e. ;000001<01121<0012345678; -> directly to parallel port by using 'OPEN "LPT1" As #1' etc. commands?

Do reply if this resolves your issue.
