This seems to work or have I got the wrong idea.

```java
    @SuppressWarnings("static-method")
    @Test
    public void test()
    {
        try
        {
            final CSVFormat format = CSVFormat.DEFAULT.withEscape('\\').withQuoteMode(QuoteMode.NONE);

            final StringWriter out = new StringWriter();

            try (CSVPrinter printer = new CSVPrinter(out, format))
            {
                printer.printRecord(Arrays.asList(new String[] { "", "", "" }));
            }

            final String result = out.toString().trim();
            System.out.println(">>" + result + "<<");

            Assert.assertEquals(2, result.length());
        }
        catch (final IOException e)
        {
            Assert.fail(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
```
