     I am not familiar with these two scopes. The technique 
used before scopes had printer connections was to photograph 
the screen using a special scope camera. Generally these 
used Polaroid film. AFAIK, there is not way to adapt a 
non-digital scope to a printer but someone else may know of 
a way. Scope cameras were a drug on the market for a long 
time. Some may still be available. Watch out that the 
shutter and lens haven't been removed.
