INT 17 - PRINTER - WRITE CHARACTER
AH = 00h
AL = character to write
DX = printer number (00h-02h)
Return: AH = printer status (see #00631)
Note: Under PhysTechSoft's PTS ROM-DOS the parallel port can also be
accessed as COM5.
BUGS: Some print spoolers trash the BX register on return.
Some original IBM BIOSes set more than one printer status bits at
a time, while only one of them is correct.
