Prior to receiving your mail I had to take the system down due to a fan failing in the box. Got your mail after I rebooted. Ran the above and only found files in /var/cache/man/cat1 and they were all man pages that had printed correctly. Just tried man apt-file and it now prints to paper corectly. I had forgotten all about the cached man pages. My bad there. Thanks again Colin. I hope this excersize helped someone elso besides me. Have a great weekend!!
