An example of printing to an epson lx-800 printer is:
C:\> gnuplot
...
gnuplot> set term epson_lx800
gnuplot> set output 'epson.out'
gnuplot> plot sin(x)
gnuplot> exit
C:\> copy /b epson.out PRN:

Note that you cannot use the DOS PRINT command - it will stop at the
first occurence of ^Z in the file.  You must use the /b binary option
of the COPY command for this.
