Last October PC Resource mag had a screendump TSR (mixed C/ASM) that handled
all the standard video modes, text or graphics from CGA to VGA (i.e. it
checked what mode it was in, sent the proper set-up codes to the printer,
then translated the video memory contents into appropriate data to make
the printer produce a reasonable facsimile of the screen).  Of course, it
only handled IBM-standard printers (I had to modify it to make it drive
my Radio Scrap ink-jet), but presumably some sort of pop-up menu to
select printer type could be added?
