[Coco] Coco and Modern Printers

[camillus Blockx]

I was more thinking of using the pc for that, link to pcs with serial and
divert with dosprint tool to any printer that is on pc. Even network
printers.

drawback is that you need the host always on.

Paralell would work too but needs code on the pc side.

I look into it more specific after I moved to my new place at end this
month.
