I want to play Scottie in Star Trek. "Computer, on." "Computer, sleep." "Computer, print."
The new Apple Intelligence allows me to do SOME stuff -- like bring up an accessibility keyboard -- with voice commands, but I can't figure out how to link to anything like the stuff above. Siri apparently has no ties to the OS either.

you don't need or want Apple intelligence or even Siri involved. Just you and the Mac:
Use Voice Control on your Mac - Apple Support
.
Sleep is not likely to be implementable, because a mis-hearing of your voice would be quite problematic.
Your computer can not hear you when sleeping, so adding WAKE is out of the question.
for Print, perhaps you could use "Choose Print off the File menu", or see the heading in the article entitled 'Create your own voice commands'
That's why you would use the command "Computer, sleep." Standard programming process, to set the operands apart from text.
"Computer, on" should be equivalent to touching the keyboard. The computer is sleeping, not dead!
The print command needs a shortcut—there are no other uses for the word "print" especially if prefaced by "computer"—see above.
Sleep, wake and print don't appear on the menu of choices. Can they be manually added somehow?
How do I use voice commands to control Mac beyond Siri?
