There is no "text only" printer driver on the Zoomer. The Zoomer prints only
in graphics mode.

If you have a telecom app on the PC that will capture raw binary input from a
serial port and save it in a file (Bitcomm will do this, for example, and
there are probably others), then you can "print" from the Zoomer while
connected to a PC and running the telecom app, then "COPY filename.ext PRN
/B" to send the print job to your PC's printer.
