You might want to check the email archives on this subject.  There has 
been a discussion on exactly this issue in the last few weeks.  
Essentially, if you haven't built a console program (as opposed to one
with a GUI), printf doesn't go anywhere.  See the email archives thread 
for details and options (neither of which I recall at the moment! ;-) )
