I really like something completely different.
Dot matrix printer playing "Eye of the tiger"...
(Yeah I know floppy drives can do it but this is ONE machine only...)
This is old now and still persisits in my memory banks.
Some clever coding here.

mcprint
print(3NCURSES) print(3NCURSES)
NAME
mcprint - ship binary data to printer
SYNOPSIS
#include <curses.h>
int mcprint(char *data, int len);
DESCRIPTION
This function uses the mc5p or mc4 and mc5 capabilities, if they are present, to ship given data to a printer attached to the terminal.
Note that the mcprint code has no way to do flow control with the printer or to know how much buffering it has. Your application is
responsible for keeping the rate of writes to the printer below its continuous throughput rate (typically about half of its nominal cps
rating). Dot-matrix printers and 6-page-per-minute lasers can typically handle 80cps, so a good conservative rule of thumb is to sleep for
a second after shipping each 80-character line.
RETURN VALUE
The mcprint function returns ERR if the write operation aborted for some reason. In this case, errno will contain either an error associ-
ated with write(2) or one of the following:
ENODEV
Capabilities for printer redirection do not exist.
ENOMEM
Couldn't allocate sufficient memory to buffer the printer write.
When mcprint succeeds, it returns the number of characters actually sent to the printer.
PORTABILITY
The mcprint call was designed for ncurses(3NCURSES), and is not found in SVr4 curses, 4.4BSD curses, or any other previous version of
curses.
BUGS
Padding in the mc5p, mc4 and mc5 capabilities will not be interpreted.
