Most UN*X manpages use nroff with macros defined in an "an" macro package,
(hence nroff -man).

If your system lacks a man command it may well lack the macros...

If you have the macro package, "nroff -man 'file_name' | more | lp" 
will give you pretty troff-like output (your printer must be set to
66 lines per page or page breaks may be in the wrong place).

If you don't have the macros, and can't get them, you may have severe
difficulty getting a good-looking printout.
