LPOS returns the number of characters sent to the printer since the last
carriage return was sent.
 
LPOS(n%)
    ■ The argument n% is the index of the printer being tested:
         LPT1 would be tested with LPOS(1) or LPOS(0).
         LPT2 would be tested with LPOS(2).
         LPT3 would be tested with LPOS(3).
 
Usage Notes
    ■ The LPOS function does not necessarily give the physical position of
      the print head because it does not expand tab characters. In addition,
      some printers may buffer characters.
