This works with GNAT 3.13p/Win98:

with Ada.Text_IO;
use Ada.Text_IO;
procedure Print_It is
   Printer : File_Type;
begin -- Print_It
   Create (File => Printer, Mode => Out_File, Name => "LPT1:");
   Put_Line (File => Printer, Item => "Here is a line for the printer");
   New_Page (File => Printer);
   Close (File => Printer);
end Print_It;
