The output from /usr/bin/groff -S -man may need to be passed through some filter or another before being printed. Any suggestions on what the command line for that filter looks like? I get good-looking results using, for example, man -t ipfw | lpr ...or plain-vanilla (but readable) results using man ipfw | lpr FWIW, this is with a Postscript printer. HTH. Also works with apsfilter; I would have to assume any printer, therefore.
