Fair enough. Although in my defence I must point out that I wasn't 
advocating sending absolutely everything to the printer verbatim - 
anyone can see that some sort of filtering and/or escaping is required, 
both in terms of the volume of data involved, and in terms of dangerous 
control characters. I also wasn't implying that LPT1 should be the only 
target for logs, rather a jigsaw piece in a more comprehensive logging 
strategy (something I didn't make clear).

Thanks for your comments, though. :)
