[CLUG] Tip of the Day

[CLUG] Tip of the Day

Hi All,

A while back I posted a question on how to print a man page, 
thanks to all who replied. Most suggested that I type man manpage |lpr
(if your printer is lpr). However as I found out after printing the 
man entry for man itself (sad but true) if you have a postscript printer
and you use the -t switch eg. man -t manpage |lpr, you get a nice 
easy to read properly formatted page. Or you can e-mail it to yourself 
or someone else by  using |mailto -s subject title name at domain.type.
Might help someone.

Cheers
Robert
