This way the printer controller can decide whether it is optimum to print the characters left to right or right to left. No matter how you send the characters to the printer you may not be able to get them to come out one at a time. You also might want to take a look at the setbuf() function which when given a NULL argument for the buffer pointer it sets the stream to be unbuffered.
