Hi ,

Has anyone out there successfully managed to print out any of the man
pages without the Non-Printable characters.

I have tried the solution in the man page of man !

i.e. # cd /usr/share/man
        # gunzip man1/ls.1.gz | tbl | neqn | nroff -Tlpr | lpr -Plp0

and the solution in one of the archived summaries of this mailing list

i.e # man ls | lpr -Plp0

and also using sed

i.e # man ls | sed " s/.^H//g" > ls.out

But I can't manage to get rid of those ^H's and the like.


Any clues ?

Thanks in advance

Bill
