On OS X you can use pstopdf...  a couple of ideas can be found here:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php? story=20051020122911920&query=man+pdf

Basic usage is:
man -t openssl | pstopdf -i -o openssl.pdf

That will give you a formatted PDF for two sided printing.

.pod files are processed by pod2man, which is a standard

 Type 'man man' to determine how to show those files -- on some
systems it's merely 'man 3 SSL', others  require different command
line arguments (I'm not a user of OSX, so I can't help you
directly).
However, there should also be a command that you can pipe
the output
of that man command through (often 'lpr', but again, you
have to check
with OSX's documentation) to print it directly.

Yea, ok, i'm no longer beside the printer.

What I'm looking for is a way to get a PDF file or something
like that, so I can ask the printer to print 2-pages per page
+ recto/verso, this way I can kill 75% less trees! ;) That's
what I was talking about when asking for printer-friendly docs.

If it is possible for example to generate a huge file.txt or
file.html, then I could work with that no problem (or a pdf too).

I've never had anything to do with .pod files before the last 60 seconds
or so. Having seen the word 'pod2man' above, it didn't take much
imagination to think of 'pod2html' and 'pod2pdf'. Sure enough, typing
either of those into a Google search box gives hundreds of interesting
looking hits. 60 seconds well spent.
