You can turn a manual into a postscript file with the -t option: man -t ls > ls.ps gives you a postscript file with a nicely formatted copy of the ls man page. If you printer doesn't understand postscript, you can use gs to convert to your printer's native format, e.g. man -t ls | gs -q -sDEVICE=laserjet -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=ls.prn - (dont't forget the trailing '-'). This should give you a file `ls.prn' that can be printed on a laserjet. Eric Meijer -- E.L.
