Please, PLEASE, guys, let's not post untested ``solutions''.
Whoever posts a problem with printf() is confused enough already.
Is it too much to ask to actually compile and run your proposed
solution before you post it?

In printf(), %f expects a double, not a float, and every float
is converted to double when passed to printf().  This is ANSI
behavior for any function with variable number of arguments.
The %lf/%f controversy is an issue in scanf(), not in printf().
So whatever the problem in the original posting, it's *not*
because of %f.
