- Well, the crudest way of handling this is to just call Interrupt 5! That's
- what pressing the PrtSc key does. If you've got Graphics.com loaded, and
- it supports the screen mode, you'll get a printout of the grpahics screen.

- The other option is to write a routine to read the screen pixel by pixel,
- and translate that to something the printer can handle.
