From what I know, it would require vast amounts of work to get a script to send ink messages and until now nobody managed to do it.
How about just having a textual display, for example

code:

---

r n b q k b n r
p p p p p p p p
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . .
P P P P P P P P
R N B Q K B N R

You could use plus colour codes to get a pretty board that way. You'll probably need a monospaced font for that to work though.
