Make a so called "System V style interface script", see
"man lpadmin" and "man filter".

I guess you also need to add a formfeed at the end of each job
to get the last page out of your printer.

Additionally you may want to recode the characters of a plain text
input file to your printers encoding.

Summary: Have a look at

"Printing Plain ASCII Text in Printer-Specific Encoding"
