[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

It is possible to open lpt1 or prn as a file also.

However, depending on what os, driver, printer you have, you might
have to fiddle iin the printer settings to make sure that the printer is
avavailable in console windows too. Some combinations of OS and printer
drivers might not even support text output from a console.
