hmm, looks like I didn't copy / paste that correctly.  lets try that again:

(pts/3)jason@marsala:~$ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/checkinstall.1.gz | groff 
-mandoc - | gv
<standard input>:106: warning: `spec' not defined (probable missing space 
after `sp')

gv displays nothing

(pts/3)jason@marsala:~$ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/checkinstall.1.gz | groff 
-mandoc - > /tmp/foo.ps 
<standard input>:106: warning: `spec' not defined (probable missing space 
after `sp')
(pts/3)jason@marsala:~$ gv /tmp/foo.ps 

gv displays the page correctly

(pts/3)jason@marsala:~$ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/checkinstall.1.gz | groff 
-mandoc - | lp
<standard input>:106: warning: `spec' not defined (probable missing space 
after `sp')
request id is epson-197 (1 file(s))

(pts/3)jason@marsala:~$ man -t checkinstall | lp
/tmp/zman8FWIIT:106: warning: `spec' not defined (probable missing space after 
`sp')
request id is epson-199 (1 file(s))

these both print the man page, but appear to start from the second page.

(pts/3)jason@marsala:~$ man checkinstall | lp 
Reformatting checkinstall(1), please wait...
/tmp/zmanySH7Iv:106: warning: `spec' not defined (probable missing space after 
`sp')
request id is epson-198 (1 file(s))

this also prints the man page, and also starts on the second page, but starts
from a different spot.
