How do I make a hard copy of a file from within BL?

I want to print out some files I have downloaded with lists of commands
for linux, so I can practice using the commands.

The BL2 FAQ says I can use wp. I can open it but I can't make it load
any files.

The FAQ also says I can execute 'insmod lp' to find which printer port
is active, then 'cat {filename} >/dev/lp0' or 'lp1' according to the
result of the previous command.

But 'insmod lp' returns the following:

Using /lib/modules/2.2.26/misc/lp.o
insmod: unresolved symbol parport_unregister_device
insmod: unresolved symbol parport_enumerate
insmod: unresolved symbol parport_claim_or_block
insmod: unresolved symbol parport_register_device
insmod: unresolved symbol parport_release

There must be a way that is easier than copying the file to the DOS
environment and using a DOS command or DOS utility to print it.
