> MAME has no printer emulation, which I like to use for a more holistic retro computing experience.

That's wrong. I haven't tried it with the Kaypro emulation, but here's a video showing the mc68000 computer printing to an emulated Epson ActionPrinter 2000: https://streamable.com/rvenyx

It's also possible to print to a text file.

Oh wow, you're right! I see now that under MAME options there is a "Slot Devices" that has a printer selection option. I overlooked that I guess, thinking it was unrelated to printing. I'll need to dig into CP/M-80 configuration options more and see if I can get it talking to the emulated printer. Thank you very much for the heads-up!
