I find it easier in the long run to configure a printer on the Linux box
and just do something like this:

  man -t tcpdump | lpr

The output is Postscript and retains the formatting of the original
document. If you really want to print from the Winbox, you can keep the
formatting like this:

  man -t tcpdump > tcpdump.ps ; ps2pdf tcpdump.ps

The result is a PDF file with all formatting intact.
