What I do is pipe man's output through "col -b":
$ man socket | col -b | lpr
I find this pretty satisfactory.
(Actually, I usually edit out the page headings and footers
before going to "lpr".)

so you will have a man page file.

1. Standard man pages to "Catted" man pages!
To Anyone Interested:
How does one take a standard "troff"ed (?) man page that comes
with a package off the net (ending in .1, .2, etc) and turn in into a
compressed, "cat"ted man page (ending in .1.Z, .2.Z, etc) that are
stored in the directory /usr/man/catN (N = 1,2,3,...) that can be read
by the standard man utility that comes with the SLS distribution? I'm
sure that this is trivial to do, and is probably written down
SOMEWHERE, but I've got only so many hours a day I can spend reading
FAQs and HOWTOs. Thanx in advance...
