*** REPLACE THIS solution WITH YOUR solution ***

why not just:

	set device to print
	@0,0 say chr(#)+chr(#2)

where '#' is the ASCII val for whatever you want to set... 

in your case:

if you didnt want the printer head to move or the thing to feed say
	set device to print
	@prow(),pcol() say chr(23)+chr(69)
