You have a few choices, all with different difficulties.

You can't printf anything to the OI, the hardware doesn't support this. You can use the LEDs in the OI if you want though, have your programmers look in the ifi_aliases.h file for controlling those, I don't know off hand what the variable names are.

The other option is to make a dashboard program. If you have any C++ or Flash MX gurus, it'll be pretty easy, I made a program that you can use with a few additions on your part. Look here for that.

If you can, please be a bit more specific on what you're trying to do, it helps us help you .
