How to create printable version of a man page..?

Most of us are always feel boring to read man pages in terminal window. what if we have a printable version of a particular command's manpage.? Nice isn't it.. so, how we can create a printable version of a manpage...

Step 1: Issue the following command in terminal
$man -t [the_command_you_wish] > destination_file_path.ps

Ex:$man -t mkdir > ~/Desktop/mkdirs_manpage_printableversion.ps

Now you got a file named " mkdirs_manpage_printableversion.ps " in your Desktop :). you can now print and use it..

Note: .ps is the default file type used to print.
