This may have been mentioned in a previous digest but it's been so 
helpful for me that I thought it worth repeating.

I'm using a program called "ManOpen" that is simply a reader for the 
"man" pages already on your Mac. Here is a description from it's "help" 
menu item:

ManOpen is a graphical interface for viewing Unix manual pages, which 
are the standard documentation for Unix command line programs, 
programmer libraries, and other system information.  It can open files 
directly or be given titles, in which case it will display the output 
from the "man" command-line program.  An apropos interface is also 
provided, which is basically a quick-and-dirty search of the man page 
databases.

Yes, it prints very nicely, as well. Here is a link to it:
