While I agree that the solutions given will all work I would like to make
a couple of comments. Firstly C has a lovely way to describe system
independant characters, in this case \r and \b, personally I hate having
to translate into and out of octal. Secondly, I would advise against using
backspace in any output to a dot matrix printer, it causes the buffer to be
printed and this can significantly slow down the printer.
