Printing man pages

[tzoi516]

I used man portmaster | lpr and wasted paper. Ran man portmaster > portmaster.txt and this is an example of what I see:

 

[wblock@]

man(1) formats documents for the screen unless told otherwise.

For very nice PostScript output, use
man -t ps portmaster

To send that to a PostScript printer, use
man -t ps portmaster | lpr

Or convert it to a PDF:
man -t ps portmaster | ps2pdf - /tmp/portmaster.pdf && xpdf /tmp/portmaster.pdf

Awesome, thanks. While we're here, how do I troff(1) a script(1) output? Keeps removing my CRs.
