OK, another RH8.0 gotcha...
If you do a
man -t <man_page> | lpr
man uses groff (I assume) to format the page and generate postscript
to pass to the printer.
But SOMEWHERE groff is set to default to A4 paper (rather than letter).
(Do a man page as above and you will see that the top line of the
man page is cut off, and that there is more space at the bottom of
the page than necessary).
This all works as expected on RH7.3 and previous, so someone from Europe
has touched the code (last) leaving a A4 paper size as default...
Ive looked, but I dont see where I can set the groff page size,
be it a default for ALL groff output or just for man pages [ man
pages are about the only thing that use groff any more ].
Can someone POINT me to the place to make the change.
[[ Ive been fixing this for years in dvips for TeX, but this is
the first time Ive been nailed by groff/man ]]
