Using the C64 as a typewriter

I have a commodore 64 and the 802 printer. Is there a simple way I can use my C64 as a typewriter? Or is there a simple program I can type into the C64 to use it as such? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! DK

Hi,
I wrote a small "typewriter" program, it was tested on VICE (since my MPS803 printer was given away).
The program starts with a blank screen and accepts text line by line.
You can use the backspace key to correct typos within the actual line.
Return key will send the contents of the line to the printer.
Use the F1 key to exit (that's the strange character in line 30).
I hope it will work on a real printer as well.
