reduce-3.8 has the file $reduce/packages/rprint/tmprint.red and the 
corresponding compiled file $reduce/lisp/psl/linux/red/tmprint.b . If I 
remember things correctly, reduce-3.7 did not have it, and one had to 
install and compile this file. The site 
http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/~seidl/ from which one could download 
tmprint.red for reduce-3.7 seems dead. I can send tmprint.red to you, 
because it is now BSD-licensed:

But I am not sure if there were any changes between 3.7 and 3.8 (dated 
2004) which required some changes in this file.

If you have tmprint.red (and its compiled version tmprint.b, and the 
corresponding line appears in $reduce/package.red), then the only thing 
you should have is the line

if getenv "TEXMACS_REDUCE_PATH" then load_package tmprint$

in your ~/.reducerc (or how the file which reduce reads at start-up is 
called in Windows). That's all.

So, in Linux, with recent versions of reduce and TeXmacs, the only thing 
you have to do is to insert this line. Then the interface works fine. 
Cannot say about Micro$oft operating systems.
