Yes, the Okidata 82/83/92 all can print rudimentary dot matrix graphics,
although I have never been overly pleased with the results.  If you are
writing your own program, you must learn APA (All-points Addressable) graphics
language.  It's not that difficult, just a lot of escape codes, and adding the
7 rows together.  Refer to the "Bells and Whistles" section of the manual.

If, however, you want to know if a commercial program will be able to print
graphics, that's up to the program.  I can just tell you it is possible.
