Description
My suggestion is to add a function or structure for sending to a printer (the frontend might write it to a file instead, or display it in a "print preview" window, etc).
Some cores that might have use of this includes: ZZT, Super ZZ Zero, Infocom Z-machine, Game Boy.
If the frontend does not support printers, then this function would be ignored.
(Super ZZ Zero uses ESC/P, Game Boy prints as pictures, and the other two use plain ASCII text.)

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the libretro API boundary between cores and the RetroArch frontend, then review how frontend output capabilities are represented. Done requires an agreed printer interface and defined behavior for unsupported frontends and the listed output formats.
