    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. :)

    Ali
