The man pages are typically in /usr/share/man. The man page for aptitude is found in section 8. So, try:

zcat /usr/share/man/man8/aptitude.8.gz | \

groff -man -T ps | \

ps2pdf - aptitude.pdf

 

Then use the normal method(s) to print a PDF. You may have to install gzip, groff and ghostscript for this to work (if they aren't already installed).

 

While there may be a 'proper' way to do it, it works for me.
