Yeah, you can printf() to  function, but not to a string.  How about this:

/***WARNING: UNTESTED CODE AHEAD***/
// Assumes string1 is global, and that this is where
// you want to append the output of printf().  All this
// does is strcat the output of printf() so you can do this:
// printf(strcheese, "%U", Hours); and tack the ASCII
// representation of an int onto the end of a string.
void strcheese(char *cheese) {
        strcat(string1, cheese);
}

Think this will work?
