Okay, I just noticed a reported bug of a similar problem
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=158890

I have my LANG set to 'en_US.UTF-8', so unicode characters are output.
If I run:

    LANG=en_US man visudo | a2ps -=lp -m

then it prints the underscore line (and others) correctly. Actually I
should use 'en_GB' since I'm in the UK, no idea why I didn't set this.
