All i can think of at the minute is groff, take a look at the man
page for 'groff'
For instance groff -Tascii /usr/man/man/man8/name.8 | more will show
the page in readable format without all the highlighted cahrs etc,
the man page also explanes about 'ps'.
Hope this helps as i dont have a printer.
