The best way to print a man page is to work from the man src; not the
roff'd output. e.g., if you want to print the man page for bash
groff -pte -man /usr/man/man1/bash.1 | lpr
will do the trick. And it looks a lot better than man | lpr by a long
shot. Not the answer you'relooking for, but if you can wait a day to
resend the PostScript output, it'll probably be worth it.
