man pages are written in troff/nroff (which can be compiled using groff)
using the man style. You can do the following, for instance:
gunzip -c /usr/share/man/man1/chmod.1.gz | groff -man | lp
(or replace "lp" with "gv -" to see on screen).
Replace chmod with specific command and note that

If you want to reproduce what you see when you type "man bash" (just as
an example), you would need to *retain* the "man markup", not subtract it.
So, right off
There's tee that can be used just pipe the man page through it and into a
text file.

Maybe one of these man option will work for you:
-t, --troff
Use groff -mandoc to format the manual page to stdout.
This option
Greetings all;
With the man markup subtracted, so what we save is exactly what we see.
Thanks.
