If DE2 has Ethernet, just print directly over the network instead.

Which printer do you use? Some printers take simple control signals or even print chars they get over RS232.  

Using a PC as go-between could help, send chars over rs232 (relatively easy to implement) and write software on the PC to print (I have no idea how to go about doing that).
