I've written a simple virtual printer that will read the Vcc bitbanger
output file containing Tandy graphics codes and output the image that you
can then save or paste to a paint program. Is it graphics you're wanting to
print?
I had planned to add support for all Tandy printers but stopped once I
realized DriveWire 4 had a virtual printer and had indicated to support
Tandy codes in the future. I think Aaron was ok with it as I didn’t want to
step on any toes, but I had other things to move onto as well. So as is, it
supports the DMP 105/106 as the 106 is what I had back in the day.
Here's a pic of where I left it:

A sample 'printed' page from MusicaII:

So far it's limited to about 6 consecutive pages. If you just want to print
a pic and you can do so in DMP 105/106 format, you could send me the file
and I could send you back the image. If it could be of any use let me know.
