While it might be a bug that lp isn't treating a character-^H- character sequence as a bold character, you can get really nicely formatted output by using the postscript output from groff:

man -t man | lp

In Panther, I use to print man pages using "man foo | lp". This got me a nicely formatted page (with pseudo bold headings etc). When I do this now under Tiger (10.4.1) I get double characters.

Did something change? Anyone see this?
