Printing man pages in A4 paper

[Andrea Giuliano]

Maybe "mpage" could be of help. You can use it as a filter this way:

$ man -t setfont | mpage -b A4 -1 | lpr

the "-b A4" option is self-explanatory. The "-1" option means "a single 
page on a sheet", otherwise the default behaviour of mpage is "four 
pages on a sheet", not very easy to read.

Unfortunately, mpage has several other defaults that you probably want 
to turn off (borders, datestamps and such). However, you should not have 
any problem with them, just read the man.

Best regards.
