The Windows version of VEDIT comes "close" if you configure your printer in Windows as a "Generic text" printer. The Windows driver still tends to translate any special control chars (e.g. to turn a generic printer's bold on/off, etc.)
The DOS version of VEDIT certainly can do this, but the DOS version does not run well in Windows 2000/XP/Vista.
If your printer is local and configure to e.g. LPT1:, from a DOS box you can simply copy the file to LPT1:. E.g.
copy file001.prn lpt1:
Ted.
