I need some help. Can anybody help me code a turtle so that, at the end of the program, it connects to an overhead printer and prints out a results sheet?

The trick is to move your turtle to where it can access the printer. Then you just:

if peripheral.getType(side) == "printer" then
	printer = peripheral.wrap(side)
end

(side should be where the printer is)

Then you should be able to use the printer normally.

Really, a better way to do this might be to just have the turtle send a rednet message with your results to a computer that has a printer, and have the computer do the printing.

accessing the printer isn't an issue, I just need help with the code to make it actually print the page.

Check out the peripheral page on the wiki or take a look in the edit program to see how it prints.
