Normally, there is a default printer configured for your machine. So, you could, for example,
save the text of your TextView to a temp file, and execute (eg. with 'system') 'lpr <tempfile>'
Of course, it will be formated using default character sizes etc (probably some monospaced font).
But in the case of tech info, this simple trick might be useful.
