Hi if you want print out the man page you can print it in ps (postscript) format.

man -t command > file.ps

then you can print it out to a ps printer or view it with ghostview or something similar.

Hello,

For what it's worth, FreeBSD site provide man pages for a large bunch of OS (including HP-UX) for various releases in various format html / ps / pdf / troff ...

Maybe not quite answering your question, but I find it usefull to be able to view man pahges as HTML. And it will print without the "usual paging" from the man pages. You'll find the cgi-script at http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Text/man2html-3.0.1/

I always use man xxx | lp -o nroff
I use HP Laserjet printers.

Here's a script I got from a HP instructor - called vman. It reformats the man page on the fly and dumps it to vi. Might not help you with the printing - but gives a nice way to read man pages...
