I see nothing and that's been the case for the last 55 years. So far as I
know no way other than banner may exist to do this job.

I suspect cups is taking this text/plain file and converting it into postscript and from there, who knows.
What do you see in your /var/log/cups/error_log file?
Are you using the proper ppd file?
what do you see when you do a "lpoptions -p {PRINTERNAME} -l"?
You can edit your /etc/cups/mime.convs to tell cups what to do with your file.

I found out later the dos print was successful, so it's something in or
out of the linux printing system. Now that brings up another question
which could save lots of disk space. How much of the high end linux
printing junk can be removed and still have the printing work with cat?

Does the printer work under windows? Have you tried to cat a plain text file to the printer, by passing cups?

When printing something like a sign, it's helpful to print in a larger
font than 8 point type. Do any command line tools exist to adjust the font
upward on a text file say created with emacs and save that so when the
file gets printed, the printing will come out at a larger size specified
by the user? I'd prefer not to mess around in gnome or at least have a
means to do this with the command line when gnome accessibility goes away
temporarily because of updates in the future. The dot matrix printer I
have I can't get working even with very competent sighted assistance yet.
It's a panasonic KXP-1123 and though we got the ppd file installed for it
from linuxprinting.org all the printer prints out is dollar signs and
question marks and long lines. This was a new never used printer out of
the box recently I can get replaced easily enough but don't know if
there's a firmware update it needs. It would be quicker to do firmware
update for it than replace it if such is the case.
