(on his res dumps)

Of course if there is a less brain-damaged or kluged
way of doing this...

I found it!
in my printermate manual there is the following
routine to send bytes directly to the printer:

OUTPUT   LDA $CFFF   ; TURN OFF CO-RESIDENT $C800 ROMS
         LDA $C100   ; TURN ON THE PRINTMATE ROM
         LDA DATA    ; PUT YOUR DATA IN REGISTER A
         LDX #$C1    ; SET X AND Y REGISTERS TO REFLECT
         LDY #$10    ; SLOT 1
         JSR $C9AA   ; CALL THE OUTPUT SUBROUTINE
         LDA $CFFF   ; TURN OFF THE PRINTERMATE ROM

and the best part is that it works and does echo things on
the screen (like cntr-g's (bells))

however I would not expect this to work on a non printer-mate
card....
