You can get DVI drivers for the most popular dot-matrix printers, including 9 pin and 24 pin printers from IBM, Epson, Toshiba, etc. Personal TeX, Inc. sells a bunch of them, a lesser quantity are available as PD software. 2. There are LaTeX to plain text converters. I've heard that none of them are really very good, but I've never tried one myself. 3. I don't know what Framemaker puts out, but as a general rule, any graphics other than ones composed with characters and lines (those curves, circles, and lines that LaTeX provides, for example) are a function of DVI driver support. Some of the Postscript DVI drivers can handle Postscript graphics, etc. There is a TeX specific arpanet digest.
