"man man" would have told you the answer to that:

       man -t alias | lpr -Pps
           Format  the manual page referenced by `alias', usually
           a shell manual page, into the default troff  or  groff
           format  and  pipe  it  to  the  printer named ps.  The
           default output for groff is usually  PostScript.   man
           --help should advise as to which processor is bound to
           the -t option.
