+You can define printer function local to a sheet with command
+@code{ses-define-local-printer}. For instance define printer
+@samp{foo} to @code{"%.2f"} and then use symbol @samp{foo} as a
+printer function. Then, if you call again
+@code{ses-define-local-printer} on @samp{foo} to redefine it as
+@code{"%.3f"} all the cells using printer @samp{foo} will be reprinted
+accordingly.
