I would include a few additional switches for invoking preprocessors, if
need be, so

zcat /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz | groff -etpsR -mandoc -Tps > /tmp/ls.ps

or send it directly to the print queue

zcat /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz | groff -etpsR -mandoc -Tps | lpr -P
<print_queue_name> -

Greetings,
