It's been far too long for me to remember clearly, but I think there was a "print buffer load" utility (originally a stand-alone BPS card deck; later, something that ran under OS I suspect) that would tell the printer how to handle each code point. I think there were some options that in effect selected a blank for unprintable characters. I don't remember if this was available for all print trains or just a select few. (I don't even know for sure that I'm not making this up.) Am I trying to remember the UCS Load utility? I know it existed, but I'm not sure what it did.
