 .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.

 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
+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
+(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.  In this case, errno will contain either an error associated
-with \fBwrite(2)\fR or one of the following:
