We print through Samba for PC's. Don't know if that is what you need
or not. Or maybe it's a problem with driver settings. I'm not a PC
person, so probably can't provide any additional help on this.

I just ran "lpr -P127-dx ./pb.1" on Solaris 8, and it printed out a
formatted man page just fine. Maybe some problem with how
`file_output_match' in ifhp.conf is set up.
We did have a couple of problems with a2ps. One is that dvi2ps was
not handled correctly, so a wrapper was needed for this (attached in
previous mail). Also, pdf's left large files in /tmp (apparently more
of an acroread problem), so again a wrapper was needed for that
special case (attached in previous mail).
I found that installing lprng and ifhp took a lot of trial and error,
and is perhaps more of an art than a craft. :-(-:
