DOS commands for Epson dot matrix not working

Question

Our Epson dot matrix printer is not printing on the following DOS command.:

Type text.txt>prn

But it does print perfectly on:

open TEXT.txt>File>Print

What is the issue here?

Wow... dot matrix and DOS... that takes me back. I've never had good experiences with Epson printers though.
It gives message like--> access is denied(was running on system ADMIN)
is that DOS command is rite.?? for printing textfile that in c drive. - c:\>Type one.txt>prn

It worked with this command:

Type textfile.txt > lpt3

The printer was connected to the lpt3 port.
