troff/groff/nroff and/or friends format man pages for display on ascii 
(and other) terminals and printing.

I think (la)tex can be told that the printer can only handle fixed width 
fonts, including the spacing,

Another thought is to markup with html, use a text browser like lynx to 
format and print (to a printer or file).
