These fonts are machine-specific. You probably won’t find a digital font that is a perfect match. For alternatives, you could search MyFonts for fonts tagged with dot matrix or browse FontShop’s Dots on a Grid FontList.

You may want to read up on how dot matrix printers work. Specifically that they have text and graphics modes. In text mode it accepts raw text (i.e. w/o any formatting) and prints it with its currently active font (that may be customized). The font size is fixed and cannot be changed. The graphics mode may be used to print arbitrary formatted text, but you are effectively printing an image and so it comes with its can of worms.
