I suggest PDF file output for portability, and that will handle graphics as well as text. If someone needs an editable text file all they have to do is open the file in a PDF reader and copy the text then paste into any editor they'd like as a text file.

What you really need to do is look at the possible scenarios and decide which is easiest to incorporate. If someone intends to use this for something other than programming they will want graphics output too, so a plain text print wouldn't work for them. Because PC printers are stupid and need the CPU to do most of the work, you may be limited to something like text output. That is better than nothing!
