Too bad, you should only have known the following, quite intuitive facts:
- dvips is hidden in /usr/TeX/bin
- dvips appears to be unable to read from a non-file. At least, it
insists on lseeking on it, even if invoked with -f or -f1
So printing an nroff document on a PostScript printer is as easy as
typing ...
groff -man -Tdvi xtetris.1 >xtetris.dvi
/usr/TeX/bin/dvips -f <xtetris.dvi | lpr
