Non-unicode printf's don't work

I have enabled wide-string support in my C++ console application using:

_setmode(_fileno(stdin), _O_WTEXT);
_setmode(_fileno(stdout), _O_WTEXT);

I can read and output unicode characters just fine now using wprintf (or std::wcin), but because of this, plain printf (and std::cin) calls won't work as they throw exceptions. Is there any way to bypass/correct this? Replacing them does not sound like a solution.

Use wprintf to output wide characters.

printf does not allow to write to a wide/unicode stream:
