Handy info, indeed. I was thinking to do it with the old Star (model forgotten, wide carriage) connected to either my old P4 if it still works, or possibly my DOS laptop, just directly via the parallel port. Then take whichever machine and log into my Linux box over either the network or serial port to muck about with ponysay. Just send the terminal buffer to the printer :)
 
If you want to generate sprites by hand, however, you can use edit.com in DOS and enter the ALT codes I provided for each set of pixels.

This appeals to my inner 80’s geek, but you spelled Luna wrong…
Neat, I might have to dust off the old Star in the closet & link the console to the parallel port, then have fun with “ponysay”, never thought of doing this.
 
I simply used Windows 8.1 with an Okidata Microline 320 Turbo hooked via USB, and the Generic / Text Only Driver with Notepad.
 
How I got graphics with the text driver was with the ANSI block in Code Page 437 with the printer set to IBM ProPrinter mode. I entered the CP437 characters using the Terminal font as a reference.
 
BTW the ALT codes for CP437 block elements used in the sprite are:
 
█ - 0219
 
▄ - 0220
 
▀ - 0223
 
Have fun!
