You can turn a manual into a postscript file with the -t option:
man -t ls > ls.ps
gives you a postscript file with a nicely formatted copy of the ls man
page. If you printer doesn't understand postscript, you can use gs to
convert to your printer's native format, e.g.
man -t ls | gs -q -sDEVICE=laserjet -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=ls.prn -
(dont't forget the trailing '-').
This should give you a file `ls.prn' that can be printed on a laserjet.
