hmm... Let's see what "man man" says about this...
-t Use /usr/bin/groff -Tps -mandoc to format the manual page, passing the
output to stdout. The output from /usr/bin/groff -Tps -mandoc may need to
be passed through some filter or another before being printed.
so...
man -t manpage > /dev/lp0
or
man -t manpage | lpr
or perhaps even
man -t manpage | /usr/bin/groff -Tps -mandoc > /dev/lp0
or
man -t manpage | /usr/bin/groff -Tps -mandoc | lpr
might do the trick.
Are you ready to risk wasting a couple of pages of paper to try? ;-)
ps: it looks like crap on screen, and I don't have any clue what it'll give on
paper since I'm at home where I'm stuck with a win-printer. So experiment. Also
the manpage is pretty unclear about it, and since I can't experiment with it
right now I suggest you also take a look at the man-howto (if it exists). I'd do
it for you, but not with this piece of cr@!* 14k4 modem.
