You'll need to use Claw (www.rrsoftware.com) or one of the other Windows
interfaces to do this.

The easiest way to print a text file in Claw is to load the file into a
rich edit control, then use the built-in printing functions of the
control. (Note: This functionality is not in the Claw Introductory
version.) You don't even need to have the control visible on the screen
if you don't want the user to see it.
