         Thanks to all who have answered so promptly. In the end Paul
Henderson's solution was the one I liked best.

        Which was

        # man ls | col -b | lpr -Plp0

        Regards

        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
