I intend to print and bind all the manpages for my distribution. For actually retrieving all the manpages, I found I can use rpm2cpio to get all the manpages, but I don't know to retain the formatting on the manpages or know a way to get all of them in one place. I also might need to be able to change margins, but I can worry about that later.
Things I've tried:
Since you mention rpm2cpio, I’ll assume you’re using a Linux distribution; on those, you can produce printer-ready versions of manpages using the following command:
man -Tps ls > ls.ps
The resulting ls.ps file contains the ls manpage in PostScript format:
Note that printing all the manpages in your distribution will result in an enormous book. This used to be a somewhat popular activity a couple of decades ago, and one could buy books containing all the manpages. I still have the Coherent manual which is mostly such a print-out.
