Jump to Post_printf is not resolved until linked, therefore you have to make the complier aware of this.
extern _printfI haven't had any success using standard "C" libraires so I use wsprintf which is part of kernel32.lib

C library functions (like printf) are typically prefixed with an underscore. In in the object library it is actually named _printf.
If you plan to use them you must also link the library itself. How to do this varies between assemblers / linkers.
