try

man -t <manpage> > <manpage.ps>

you get postscript out of that.  I use mpage and a wrapper script to do
double-sided printing since the printer is no longer connected directly to
the Windoze box.  It works in much the same way as the windows
double-sided driver but can print multiple pages per sheet of paper (very
handy for printing web sites!).  Shout if you'd like it to try out
(Imagine, not having to boot windoze just to print something!).
