    With this feature enabled, it is possible for an escape sequence sent
    by the remote host to cause PuTTY to print something. Some programs
    have options to access this printing functionality; I believe pine is
    one such program, but there may be others.

    In PuTTY you enable remote-controlled printing, and select the printer
    you want to print to. Then, in a program on the remote host, you
    select some option that prints to the remote printer. Pine calls this
    type of printing `attached-to-ansi', others might use different terms.
