although i've specified in the printer setup where my printer is a dotmatrix printer (oki ML 591)->this printer supports (font) Roman 20 cpi but when i view the report using vb.net, it comes out with another font.

By viewing, you mean inside VB.Net if comes out in a different font? If that is the case, yes it would.

Have you tried printing to the printer to see the result?

no. wat i mean is i hav specified the font type to roman 20 cpi but when the printing comes out it is not the font type that i hav specified but rather in a different font type.
