Here is an example "example.ses", if you open it with the current SES it
will generate an error "Invalid printer" while it used to work --- don't
remember with which version, but that sort of thing was working one year
or so ago.

If you take my patch (attached as ses.el.gz) and configure
ses-enable-local-variables you will have desired printing.

The thing is that I often use Calc object in cells --- and this is even
the very reason why I use SES --- the downside of that is that I need to
configure suitable printing functions for those Calc objects --- this is
all the more true that some time I happen not to have the same float
format for all the cells.

Another use case is that in some cell I have to be confirmed values
(some guess which I need to reconfirm...) and I want some printing with
some mark that this cell needs to be consolidated.

In the attached example I use two local printers checked-time and
tbc-time: cells B2 -- B4 use checked-time, while cells B5 & B6 use
tbc-time. check-time does some fancy printing for Calc HMS forms, and
tbc-time add some extra "?? " prefix on top of that. So I get this
display:

-----Task------ -----Time------
      gardening        1h 3m 0s
        cooking     0h 45m 3.1s
       sleeping       7h 35m 6s
  bird watching    ?? 0h 20m 0s
        *Total*  ?? 9h 43m 9.1s
