Is this graphics printing on one line or text?

DIP switch is likely to help, though disabling the printer ignore
character could do it too. eg. *FX6,0 if IIRC.

You'll only get b&w. Colour printer drivers on the beeb are very rare
because they were so new. You could buy ROMs etc. to do printing but
they tended to be a bit pricey. I wrote my own printer driver many
years ago for the LC-10 I'd got.

Again, that's pretty much a printer driver problem. Can't really help
more than that I'm afraid. You could look out for a printer driver
ROM. I hate to recommend them, but watford electronics used to have
one.
