There is even a better solution. First install GNU roff
(groff), version 1.09 is the latest, that works, newer ones
probably won't.

After installing groff-1.09, just do:

man -t <manpage> | lpr -P<postscript printer>

The result is much better than from col or nroff.

If you can't find groff-1.09 source anywhere, I can mail it
to you, configured to compile on DU 4.0b (it is hard to find that old
version any more on the public ftp servers).
