The ANSI X3.64 (or it's international equivalent ISO 6429) standard is
general enough to be applied to printers.  Neither standard ties itself
to just CRTs.  Using both ANSI X3.4 (ISO 646) and ANSI X3.64 (ISO 6429)
should give you enough functions for ordinary printing terminals.
You'll have to trim them a bit, obviously (insert/delete-line/char would
be a bit difficult to implement), but the standards don't require you to
implement everything.
