:i can't seem
:to strip out the control (^) characters... it comes out like:
:
:     man [ - ] [ -adFlrt ] [ -M _^Hp_^Ha_^Ht_^Hh ] etc etc...
:

If you're lucky:

% man -t manpage

If you're almost lucky:

% man -t manpage | lpr

If you're semi-lucky:

% troff /usr/man/man?/manpage.?

If it really really sucks to be you:

% man manpage | col -b | lpr
