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. - +. .SH RETURN VALUE The \fBmcprint\fR function returns \fBERR\fR if the write operation aborted for some reason.
