I did that with my Tek and a Polaroid PoGo mini printer. Works great for 
printing quick scope plots to put in the ol' lab notebook. Even moreso 
when you factor in that the Pogo prints are sticky-backed :)

I also have a Canon CP800 which does 6x4 dye-sublimation prints. Haven't 
had a chance to plug that into the 'scope's Pictbridge socket yet (but I 
will... eventually!)
