Function 05h (5) Printer Character Output
Outputs a character to the standard printer device.
On entry: AH 05h
DL Character
Returns: Nothing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This function outputs the character whose ASCII value is in DL to the
standard printer device, which is normally the first parallel port,
LPT1.
Notes: If the device is busy, the function waits until it
is ready.
If a Ctrl-Break (Ctrl-C) is detected, INT 23h is
executed following output.
Because this functions offers no way to determine
printer status, it is preferable to open the LPT1
device as a file.
For greater control, use the ROM-BIOS services (INT
17h).
