I should be able to print to the pyILPER printer screen and cut and paste the text from there.

Probably best to send an email to JFG to confirm the PIL-Box can work in this mode. HP-IL has lots of subtleties and it's possible this kind of usage is not supported. Be sure to let him know the firmware rev you have (label on the chip inside).

If you doubt my suggestion will work you could always try it and see. smp's PIL-Box was upgraded last month.
