I always use `write´ these days, instead of the `print´ family. It makes it easier to remember exactly which printer variables are used and affected. More often than not, being unaware of printer variables causes bugs that are extremely hard to find, and those who blithely assume that they have "reasonable" values have no room for reasonable disagreement over what is reasonable.
