Did you try sending some data to the printer from HyperTerminal "Direct to Com x" configuration? That give you a better idea of how to get the printer to print out what you want.
If there is a DIP switch for XON/XOFF, then disable the XON/XOFF to simply communication.
The cable from PLC to the printer will be opposite that of the cable pin out from PC to the printer. Assuming your description of the pin out from PC to printer is accurate, then you should connect the following:
PLC Printer
2 3
3 2
5 7
Also short pin 6 and 20 together on the printer side. No other connection is necessary on the T100MD+ PLC side.
(Note that T100MX+ is different because it requires pin 4 to be connected to a +10V power to operate properly, usually this is obtained from the DSR pin of the host PC).
