Emacs has ediff-files and ediff-buffers commands which colorize the
individual changes within each line, altho they seem to be word based
rather than character, such that if only a single character is
different, it will highlight the entire word containing that character.

I do not know how to print from it, however; it is interactive.  There
may be some obscure command, but since I haven't had or used a
functioning printer in years, I don't know.
