Display of graphics via lynx is possible under some environments;  I have
set up my X terminal to spawn an image viewer when lynx encounters one of
several entities.  You could conceivably spawn a printer job as well. 
Here are some relevant snips from my configurations: 

.mailcap:# image/gif; /usr/local/bin/vimage %s
.mailcap:image/gif;             xli -title "GIF_DUMP" %s >/dev/null 2>&1 &
.mailcap:image/x-png;           xli -title "PNG_DUMP" %s >/dev/null 2>&1 &
.mailcap:image/png;             xli -title "PNG_DUMP" %s >/dev/null 2>&1 &

.mime.types:image/gif                      gif             
.mime.types:image/png                      png             

I need to switch on the graphics links with the "*" key for this to work.

I don't speak (or work) for the Baltimore County Public Library.
They keep telling me, "Shhhhh!"
