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!
