If you intend to print man pages use the "-t" option and you will get
Postscript output that is easier to read than dumb-ASCII.
Something like
man -t chmod > chmod_manpage.ps
Will generate a Postscript file for the "chmod" command that is formatted
for letter-size pages with professional-like typesetting. 30 years ago I
you mean like ... bold ?
once had a notebook of these printouts it worked the same way then as now.
UNIX was old, even then.

well you could pipe it through lpr.
but also, probably easier, you can pipe it to a file.. and then print
that file.
for example for ls:
$ man ls > ls-man.txt
check ls-man.txt, it should be an ascii/txt file. and you can print
that.

Greetings all;
I guess I'm one of the guys that grew up reading the printed word, and to
this day I grasp a howto 10 times better by reading it on paper.
So, how is the best way to get a paper copy of a man page, since man
doesn't seem to have the ability to redirect its screen output to a
printer?
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
