To print to either a parallel port, or a USB printer in Windows, from within a program running in a small DOS window, you must first copy the data in the Windows Clipboard. There are two ways to do this:

Method #1:
To print via Windows Paint, Wordpad, or Microsoft Word, from a small DOS window, use the two icons on the left, at the top. First, press 'Mark,' then left-click & drag the white cursor to highlight all the data you wish to transfer to the Clipboard. Now, with the data highlighted, press 'Copy' to paste in to the application of your choice, from which you may print.

Method #2:
To print via Windows Notepad, press the 4th icon from the left, at the top of the small DOS window, marked 'Full screen.' Now, press 'Alt + Print Scrn' to transfer the data to the clipboard. To return to the original small DOS window, press 'Alt + Enter.' Open Windows Notepad, press 'Edit' and then 'Paste.' Now you can print.
