Writes a short message to the port

The source code includes the two project files needed for building: bld.inf and the .mmp file.
The Symbian platform build process describes how to build this application,
which results in an executable called \epoc32\release\<target>\<urel
or udeb>\IRPRINTING.EXE.
Run the executable IRPRINTING.EXE.
Executables for the emulator targets wins and winscw can be run on your PC. Executables for ARM targets
