Ok,  so I am printing a lot of man pages lately,  and it is very annoying
that the pages are formatted too long for my printer.  I end up with "page
1" printed a few lines down on Page 2,, and by "page 15"  it is somewhere in
the middle of page 17.

There HAS to be some way to tell man how many lines my printer can fit on a
single page,  so that "page 15"  is actually printed at the bottom of the
15th page.   I have looked at the man pages for Man,  Nroff, troff, groff,
and everything else I can think of,  and the closest that I got was the
MANWIDTH environmental variable.    Am I missing something easy?
