I have been playing around with "mp" program for sometimes. Sometimes, When I print Unix manual pages using mp(e.g man tar | mp -f), only the first few pages are printed and the rest get aborted. I have checked the output of mp and it seems to be O.k (i.e in the form that it shall be.). However, when I delete the
control characters found in the Unix manual pages, all things are printed. 
By the way, the printer I use is Apple Laser printer.
I would apprecite if anyone can help.
Thanks.
