Sheesh! I just read all the other answers on how to print man pages. (I
should charge for this stuff.)
groff -pte -man manpageFileName | lpr
|||
|| \----------------process with eqn
|\------------------process with tbl
|-------------------process with pic
groff already defaults to -Tps output.
Then you get the printed output as God intended it.
Try this:
gunzip < /usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz | groff -pte -man | lpr
How did God intend it? Was knowledge of that intention imparted to you
personally? ;)
And how does your example requiring knowledge of the man page file and
use of gunzip and groff with options improve on the following?
man -t topic | lpr
