Do you want to print a Linux, macOS, *BSD, or Unix manual page? Perhaps you want a nicely rendered PS or PDF file? There is an easy way to do this. Open the terminal and run following commands:
```
man -t {command} > "{filename}.ps"
man -t sort>"sort.ps"
# open using default Doc viewer
xdg-open "sort.ps" # Linux
open "sort.ps" # macOS
# print it on printer named HP2
man -t sort | lp -d HP2
```
very nice. however, i thought the modern way is to build man pages using mdoc and to make formatted output with mandoc.
« Supported values for the output argument are ascii, html, the default of locale, man, markdown, pdf, ps, tree, and utf8. »

Agreed, you shouldn't have to use it. But it opens up a world of discovery for those who want to.

A phone isn't ideal, certainly. Typing typical Unix commands is a chore, and the screen's too small even for 80x25, especially with a soft keyboard taking up half the available space. But people who don't have access to Unix any other way mostly have smartphones. To me, it's a matter of making the best use of hardware that's already available rather than presenting the command line as the best way to use a phone (which, I agree, it isn't).
I got hooked on computers when a command line was all there was, because GUIs hadn't been invented. I'd like today's young people to have that opportunity if they want it.
