I've found out that to do a printer toggle (on just about any stupid terminal)
just simply save to the file:
prt:

yes, 'p','r','t',':'

That's the printer device - it will ask for your Workbench if you haven't 
already used it so it can load the driver.  I myself use 'par:' since my
printer's on the parallel anyway (Epson FX-85) and for some reason, 'prt:'
spits out an extra blank line on top (grrrr.  Bug alert!  Bug alert!)
