I like the a2ps utility as it allows printing in various formats. The easiest I use is: man 8 fubar | a2ps -P printer (the -P option is only needed for a non default printer) BTW, I use CUPS and its lpr emulation. By default, a2ps will print two pages to a sheet and can do even more or only one plus many more ways to enhance the print. - Nate >> -- Wireless | Amateur Radio Station N0NB | Successfully Microsoft Amateur radio exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | free since January 1998. http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | "Debian, the choice of My Kawasaki KZ-650 SR @ | a GNU generation!" http://www.networksplus.net/n0nb/ | http://www.debian.org
