Open a Command Prompt (either Start|Run then type cmd <enter> or
Start|All Programs|Accessories|Command Prompt)

then -- assuming your printer is connected to your parallel port

type copy pathfile name.file name extension LPT port number /b, and then
press ENTER, where:
path is the path to the folder that you want to use to store the file
file name is the name that you want to give the file that you are making
file name extension is the file name extension for the file that you are
making port number is the number of the printer port that your printer
is using, typically LPT1

For example, copy c:\...\printjob.prn lpt1 /b and then press ENTER.

Type exit <enter> to quit the command prompt window.

Or we have a free tool on our web site called Free Raw Print which will do
the same thing in a GUI.
