Under a Command Prompt (which is probably what
you mean with "DOS") you can print the file like so:

copy /b file.prn lpt1:

You may also have to eject the page:

echo ^L> lpt1 (^L=Ctrl+L)

If you want "DOS" to go to the printer: you will need to "Share" the
printer and then "net use LPT1 \\computername\printersharename\"

then you may use the command as you typed it.
