With DocBook you do something like this:
STYLE = /usr/lib/sgml/stylesheet/dsssl/docbook/nwalsh/print/docbook.dsl
jade -d $STYLE -t tex input_file.sgml
jadetex input_file.tex
dvips input_file.dvi -o input_file.ps
Just in case someone needs it, I have enclosed a Makefile that
generate most (if not all) the formats that DocBook stylesheets
support (directly or indirectly).

It's nearly all the HOWTOs, and some of the other docs from the Documentation Project.

I think all Howtos and mini- are a bit too much for printing... is there any reseller who sells hard copies of the whole set?

You can print multiple pages (of text or postscript) on one physical page. Obviously the text comes out smaller, but it saves paper on lengthy stuff.
