If you are in text mode, it's easy...just use the save_text_image()
command. Extract only the characters (not the combined foreground and
background colour attribute bytes, unless you want to use them as well),
and send them to the printer.
If it is graphic, it's going to be a bit harder. You can easily get the
pixel image using save_image(), but sending it to the printer will require
the conversion of the pixel colours to your printer's print control
language. This will depend if you have a older colour dotmatrix or a hot
new laser type.

Mr Deshenes is one genius of a programmer. I'm seriously considering using
his donated software tools at the Euphoria Home page to dazzle up version
2.00 of "A Beginner's Guide To Euphoria"
Good luck!

I second that one. His code "works" and is almost always a total no
brainer to implement. He is very helpful as well. I asked him "I need to
do this with your sound code, how do I?" and the next day in my mailbox
was all the code I needed to cut and paste in. AND IT WORKED THE FIRST
TIME I TRIED IT. That's a big wow for me.
This Listserver is chock full of creative people who really do the
Euphoria Community a service by being here and sharing their expertise and
their code with us. Jiri Babor is another one. His fire code is way
cool and the font.e saved me a few days programming once I figured it out.
He even had a font that worked for what I needed.
