That would be a very heavy printout, and you would want a page break
between each pair of files.
To print the whole help (user manual _and_ reference manual), only not
the help for additional packages, you may want to start Vim with no
arguments, then set the proper print options (see ":help
print-options") and finally print them all to a file by means of
:args $VIMRUNTIME/doc/*.txt
:argdo hardcopy >~/vimhelp.txt
or similar
(omit ">~/vimhelp.txt" to print to an actual printer).
See
:help :args
:help :argdo
:help print.txt
Best regards,
