A badly needed update: some nasty bugs have been patched as well as the in-memory bitmap of the printer emulation is made visible via a GUI window (only as #4 for now because me being lazy). Anyway, let's see what's new this time:

- printer job window (for now #4 only)

- turn off variable length buffering properly when recording media (fixes occasional clicks)

- not scanning joysticks when unavailable (Message Queue driver slowdown)

- column width and line feed bug for MPS803 emulation fixed

- regression bug in the printer cycle counter ironed out

- awkward TED drawing bug patched
