I once did man cron > cron.txt when I went to open the file I discovered that it was filled w/numerous special chars and not easisly human readable. I went to the trouble of writing a C program to remove the special chars. It turns out that was a waste of time all I had to do was send to the printer using the lpr command (it printed fine). Maybe you need a way to intrepurt (sp?) the special chars as formating -not sure how easy this would be to do. Hope that helps some. Writing the C program was pretty easy -but I no longer have the source.

Cheers,
