Thanks for the feedback Luke.  Is it not rare when we find someone else with
the same first name?

Clearly a pretty straightforward process exists for more experienced users
who want to produce DIY documentation.  OpenBSD serves these folks pretty
well.

The OpenBSD manual project idea though, is targeted towards those of us
unwashed heathen who are not yet experienced users (like me) or who do not
yet have a printer of any kind hooked up the their computers (like me).  And
also those who want the convenience of well prepared and presented
documentation from a third party.

My thanks for your write up of how you go about printing out man pages. I
will try this when I hook up my own Epson.
