I think you did not get it. orintk puts a message in the kernel's message
buffer, which will then:
- be output to the console if the loglevel allows;
- be fetched by klogd, sent to syslogd, and finaly most likely saved into
some log depending on your syslog setup.
printks don't "go to the terminal" like an application calling printf. If
the terminal is the kernel's console at the moment (see, this is not
konsole), and the console log level allows, it will end up being displayed
on that terminal, but this is a side effect. :)
I hope this helps, and hope I'm not saying bs.
