There are many ways and one of them is: locate the groff source of the
relevant man page and: 

groff -man -Tps man-page.n > man-page.ps

to obtain a nicely formatted postscript version of the page. Then print it
using lpr if you have a ps filter/ghostscript installed.

groff -man -Tascii man-page.n > man-page.txt
