#14640: SCI: ECOQUEST2: nothing happens when the Ecorder displays "printing"
-----------------------+----------------------------
Reporter:  lwcorp      |      Owner:  (none)
    Type:  defect      |     Status:  new
Priority:  normal      |  Component:  Engine: SCI
 Version:              |   Keywords:  print,printing
    Game:  EcoQuest 2  |
-----------------------+----------------------------
 I'm not sure if this is even a SCI issue or a more general one (if so,
 please modify).

 So the Ecorder device in this game can actually send text to one's printer
 (LPT1). It works for example in DOSBox-X (which supports printing), but
 not in ScummVM. Any attempt to print just secretly creates a file called
 **ecoquest2-prn** (no extension) without any indication on the screen
 other than displaying "Printing" inside the game. Nothing is even
 mentioned in the console screen.

 **Steps to reproduce**
 1. Enter the game's top menu
 1. Click the inventory icon
 1. Click the hand icon
 1. Click the Ecorder
 1. Click the Turn On button
 1. Click Down until reaching "Print My Fact Sheet"
 1. Click the Enter button
 1. Click Up to accept printing
 1. Click the Enter button
 1. See the game displaying "Printing" for a couple of seconds

 **Expected outcome**
 Options:
 * Print
 or
 * Save to a PDF file
 or
 * At least indicate on screen this can't be done (at least in console)

 **Actual result**
 Nothing seemingly happens but secretly a file called **ecoquest2-prn** (no
 extension) is being created
