When there is an error in a program being developed, an interactive session (two-way communication) with the printer would be quite helpful to locate the source of the error.
telnet is part of basic OS X, if you know what port to talk to (often port 9100). I'm not sure what else you would need. Printers are not some strange arcane protocol requiring custom programming to talk to, they're just network devices speaking ordinary TCP/IP --- and your hyperterminal connection is just telnet protocol in a terminal emulator, which you do on OS X as telnet in Terminal.
