I would think you could solve the command-line printing of text files
issue using something along the lines of (UNTESTED since I don't have a
Win/DOS machine around):

system('copy <filename> lpt1:')

or

system('print <filename')

both of which are DOS commands that, theoretically, should bypass the
dialog box.
