The best way to print a man page is to work from the man src; not the roff'd output. e.g., if you want to print the man page for bash groff -pte -man /usr/man/man1/bash.1 | lpr will do the trick. And it looks a lot better than man | lpr by a long shot. Not the answer you'relooking for, but if y

Generally (and users of other Unices can comment), the 'man' command actually reads in the raw man page info, (which, in the old days was written in nroff format), and processes it and spits out the stuff you see in your xterm window. Note that in a lot of cases, this may include ANSI characters

you can use man2html to create an html doc. I think there is also a way to make a postscript file. You can always print it to a file, and then use ghostview to read/print it. Of course, none of these thing actually address your question about text. I don't know if you can go to plain text. Kenny
