I wrote a printout program for my Panasonic KXP1124 (no guarantee of 
compatibility with other printers). It accepts either DEGAS or TINY
format files of black and white screens only, and it doesn't replace
the alt-help command because I couldn't figure out how to do that. 
Instead I use Braner's BARREL to grab screens and store them as DEGAS
files, which is crude and wastes storage space. If I want to keep stuff
long term I translate it to TINY.

The printout is either 1, 2 or 3 dots per screen pixel; the last prints
sideways on the paper and almost exactly fills a sheet, while at 1 dot 
per pixel the printout is less than 4 inches across.
