man -t problem



When I want to print a man page, I usually do

man -t command | lpr

The -t option with man formats the page neatly as Postscript.
But recently I found that instead of the expected man page,
gibberish is printed (which looks vaguely like Postscript _source_
text).

When I do "man -t command > test.ps", then "file test.ps", I get
the answer "test.ps: awk script text" (instead of the expected
"Postscript document text"). To make test.ps printable I first
have to run it through ps2ps or ps2pdf.

Did others see this also? Is it a bug, or some new kind of "feature"?

Regards, Jan
