 .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

+Your application is responsible for
 keeping the rate of writes to the printer below its continuous throughput rate

+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.

 .SH RETURN VALUE
 The \fBmcprint\fR function returns \fBERR\fR if the write operation aborted
