Do a "man" on "man". My feeble memory recalls options to format output to file
instead of screen (default?). You can then print the file (all within a script
if preferred). There was also an option to have output formatted for specific
printers as listed in dev file somewhere.

man man
man troff # or groff

On my system:

$ man -w printcap
/usr/share/man/man5/printcap.5.gz
$ zcat $(man -w printcap) | groff -man | lpr

Or, more simply:

man -t printcap |lpr

Craig

Craig,

you can pipe the output of the man command into a2ps, which is an ascii to
postscript printer.

something like:

man ls | a2ps -man -Pprinter

hope this helps...
