Printing man pages

Hi all,

with my previous Linux distro, Mandrake, I used to
print man pages with the enscript command as follows:

man MANPAGE | esncript -2 -j -r

and I'd get a nice 2-column, landscape mode printout
with borders and a tiny font.  Now when I do that
under Kubuntu with the same Brother USB laser printer,
the left margin is off the page and various
punctuation marks are way off.

I can print man pages via Konqueror, but I dislike the
lack of columns and the huge font, which I'm not sure
how to adust (I can adjust the screen font easily
enough, but the print function just ignores it).

Any simple solutions to printing man pages with a
small font and double column?

Thanks,
Dan
