I've successfully used COMit (a typical PC terminal application) to capture
the printer output from both an OmniGo and a Zoomer. Just hook up the cable,
launch your comm program on the PC and set it to capture the serial input to
a binary file (not all terms will do this, but I believe many will), and then
print away on the device. Later, send the file to your printer with COPY
FILENAME.EXT PRN /B.
