I have found that printing through Yelp tends to give better results. If
you use a desktop with Gnome, you can use Yelp to open manpages by
entering man:<command> into the search bar. Say I want to read the
manpage for nfs, I type in man:nfs. And like I said before, the printout
is just a little better.

I use XFCE4 on my desktop and have Yelp installed so I can look at
manpages nicely formatted. For whatever reason, it's harder for me to
read them in a console.
