I don't have an EP44, but I do see a blog post where someone uses the EP44 as a serial terminal for DOS: https://darrengoossens.wordpress.com/2019/03/21/the-brother-ep44-as-a-serial-terminal-for-dos/
It seems like you should just be able to connect to it using the TELCOM program and send characters to it by typing. If you get that working, sending a file by using the `Up' option with F3 and typing the name of your document should print it out. I've copied a lot of files to my linux machine this way using `ed'. Just gotta figure out the settings for TELCOM. You'll probably need a NULL modem cable as well, since it looks like the EP44 isn't just a printer and probably doesn't have TX/RX switched like a normal printer might. Hope that helps.
