If printer is locally connected to parallel port:
copy /b myfile.prn LPT1:
If printer is connected to the network via JetDirect etc.
lpr -S address -P queue myfile.prn
where address is the IP-address of the printer;
and queue is a queuename on the printer; most devices accept any value, but some insist on particular values (e.g. lpt1_passthru).
I've no idea how to do it if the printer is USB connected.
Note that the target device must support the printer language used within the .prn file.
