 Alex> zcat /usr/man/man1/ls.1.gz  | groff -tmandoc -T ps > ls.ps

	You can do this directly using man, for example,
__> man -Tdvi foo.1x > ./foo.1x.dvi
__> man -Tps man | lpr

       -T device, --troff-device [=device]
              This option is used to change  groff  (or  possibly
              troff's)  output  to be suitable for a device other
              than the default.  It implies -t.   Examples  (pro­
              vided with Groff-1.09) include dvi, latin1, X75 and
              X100.
