1) For plain text use the old DOS trick of sending output direct to the PRN: file/device - I can't remember if this still works in XP but I can't think why not...
The only reason I can think of is that Windows XP is not directly based on
DOS, wereas the other versions were. In so doing, they have lost a lot of compatibility with many things. Old DOS games no longer work, some DOS commands do not work in their mock command prompt, etc.
