Want to print your #Linux and #Unix manual pages? Try
Save the PostScript version to a file:
man -t {command} {command|.ps
man -t date date.ps
file date.ps
xdg-open date.ps
You send the PostScript directly to default printer:
man -t {command} | lp
This will send date manual page to the printer named hp0:
man -t date | lpr -Php0
