How to do it the nicest way possible? There are two places I'd like to print
at -- at home and/or at work. At home, I have HP500C -- prints underlined 
words Ok, but ignores bolding (printing a character second time does not
make it any BBOOLLDDEERR on this printer). At work, I'll have to
ftp files to WinNT machine and print it from there (using notepad/write/word),
because SAMBA does not communicate very well with the printer on the net --
it schedules the print-jobs, but the never get printed )-:

Any way to alter the number of lines in one man page? 

Is PostScript my only alternative? Thanks!
