is there any printer driver available that lets me add a "generic ascii printer" that prints to a text file?
or, do you know a trick to accomplish this without adding a printer for this purpose?
(i know, save as pdf and use pdf2ascii - but can i package this as a simple printer selection? if your suggestion includes the word "applescript", pls give detailed instructions, for a dummy! thanks. )

What are you trying to "print" to? Better yet, what application are you using and what are you looking for it to do?
