How to print part of a large file?

I have a large output file, 115 pages. The first 65 pages were printed before my computer lost power. Is there anyway to print the last 50 pages with printing the whole file. Computer is an old Compaq 286 and the printer is a Panasonic KX-P4410.

Cut the first 65 pages out, save the file under another name and print the new file.

It sounds like an idiotic question, but you never know. I assume you have a word processor that works in Dos. As has already been said, when you print just tell the printer to print pages 175 to 225 or whatever. If there is no word processor installed, you can't specify pages but you can print directly from Dos. As I recall, you can print from the edit command (type edit at the dos prompt and hit return) but it will print the whole file really wide in all text format. Secondhand word processors may not open the file's format.
