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:
zcat /usr/share/man/man3/getopt.3.gz | nroff -man | lpr -Plist
which works fine for my dot matrix printer. However, it'd go a lot quicker if I could get rid of all the backspacing etc. used to print the (superflous to me) emboldening of text.
Can someone remind me what that filter is called?
The command I user all the time to print man pages is:- man -t command | lpr
Yep, but as I said, I have a dot matrix printer, and I don't want it printing 15 pages of raw Postscript... I want text, plain and simple! :o) -- Microsoft Palladium: "Where the hell do you think YOU'RE going today?"
