Hi fellow Tuxers:
Not an earthshaking problem but, does anyone know of a way to save man
pages without the display formatting (highlight, color, etc.)? I want to
print it out from my as yet unsupported by Linux printer which is on my
WinNT box.
When I save it to a file (man taper >taper.txt) it includes all the
display formatting commands which of course show up in the printed copy.
The printer is a Canon BJC-5000 which I use for "B" size Autocad drawings
but doesn't work under Linux yet.

TIA,
Tom
