To add to Gene's suggestion about Drivewire, DW4 can be set under 
Config/CurrentPrinter for FX80 emulation or output to "plain text files".
When 
you have a text file, you can edit that with any PC text program and or
print it.

As an alternative, depending on what you want to print, you could save the 
output to a disk file. That disk could be mounted into a Coco emulator such
a 
MESS which will save printer output as any text type file, .txt, .wri, etc.
