Right, on the 85 there's PrtScrn or something like that, to print a screen
shot of a graph, but I don't think those commands would work well for a
texteditor(wordprocessor, whatever) application. I'm not familiar with the
92, however(I'm a poor college student). I was thinking more along the
lines of new routines to send characters directly to the printer. Here's a
thought; connect a calc to the computer using any of the links($5,
graphlink, etc). Have a program capture the data sent, and send it to the
printer. This seems to be a roundabout way to do it, but it seems workable
without any new hardware solutions. (Of course, direct connection would be
more interesting :)
