I vaguely remember someone on this list mentioning a filter program which will take the bolds and other assorted fluff out of, eg., man pages, so they can be printed. I currently use a line like:
maybe try: man -t getopt | mpage -P list from 'man man': man -t alias | lpr -Pps Format the manual page referenced by `alias', usually a shell manual page, into the default troff or groff format and pipe it to the printer named ps. The default output for groff is usually PostScript. man --help should advise as to which processor is bound to the -t option. 'mpage' will save you some paper. The default is to print things 4-up, you can also have it print 2 pages per sheet with 'mpage -2'. Man pages can get a tad long and mpage really helps on these :) good luck, brian -- Brian Jackson Photo http://www.brianjacksonphoto.com Action Athletics "Sports Photography for You" http://www.actionathletics.com
