To make a long story short, the host must send printer control codes
to the terminal emulator to engage printing. Given the lack of that ability
in your VMS based web browser suggests that you cause it to print to a file
on the VAX/Alpha, and then later use Kermits to send those files to local
PC destination PRN (or LPTx).
Note that a formal Kermit protocol file transfer is vastly superior
to the approach of "transparent printing" (aka, send and hope it gets there
without overruns/losses/whatnot). SET DESTINATION PRN is the command to direct
files to the local printer rather than to disk.
