Or you could use a serial printer. That works too.

I've been using transparent print on the Wyse 50's since about
1985, so I know it works on machine that old.

Transparent print is control X.  It's in the manual, or in the 1
sheet paper addendum to some of the earlier manuals, and it's in
the tech manual.

Works just fine.
