[geeks] Man -> paper

" From: Joshua Boyd <jdboyd at jdboyd.net>

" How would one go about getting a man page printed out?  
" 
" I see a reference to using the -t flag for man, but that just puts out a
" text file with graphics charaters in them, not poscript.
" 
" It seems that Irix ships formatted rather than unformatted man pages,
" which would prevent my from using troff/nroff/groff directly.

on solaris
MANPAGER="lp -d <printer>" man -t <manpg>
does a slick job.  been a while since i tried it though.

your lp might need a -Tps or the like, to warn it of the troff output.
