Maybe [f][f][Print Stack] etc. would be easiest.

This is a great idea, but would be much more useful if it could be a global toggle, e.g. pressing [f][f][Print Stack] the first time sets a mode where 'print x' and 'print stack' only display the value, then pressing [f][f][Print Stack] the next time restores the default mode of actually printing, so that this mode can also affect behavior in a running program, in addition to when calculating interactively at the keyboard.

Right, in a program is where it would be useful, so a toggle like this would be the way to go. And maybe have it automatically go back to print mode when it's powered off to reduce "Why isn't my printer working?" confusion.

Maybe use the key sequence f-paper advance? That little button doesn't have any shifted function, as far as I know.
