- Note that the <STRONG>mcprint</STRONG> 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 <STRONG>mcprint</STRONG> function returns <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if the write operation
- aborted for some reason. In this case, errno will contain
