+\fBmcprint\fR \- ship binary data to printer
 .SH SYNOPSIS
 \fB#include <curses.h>\fR
-
+.sp
 \fBint mcprint(char *data, int len);\fR
 .SH DESCRIPTION
 This function uses the \fBmc5p\fR or \fBmc4\fR and \fBmc5\fR capabilities,
 if they are present, to ship given data to a printer attached to the terminal.
-
+.PP
 Note that the \fBmcprint\fR code has no way to do flow control with the printer
 or to know how much buffering it has.  Your application is responsible for
 keeping the rate of writes to the printer below its continuous throughput rate
 (typically about half of its nominal cps rating).  Dot-matrix printers and
 6-page-per-minute lasers can typically handle 80cps, so a good conservative
 rule of thumb is to sleep for a second after shipping each 80-character line.

+The \fBmcprint\fR function returns \fBERR\fR if the write operation aborted
