troff -t -man rm.1 | more

will result in stuff sent to the screen ok.  But

troff -t -man rm.1 | lpr -t

results in nothing.

Am I doing something wrong?  or doesn't 3.0 like troff any more?

After upgrading to NS 3.0, I cannot troff.

troff -t -man rm.1 | more

will result in stuff sent to the screen ok.  But

troff -t -man rm.1 | lpr -t

results in nothing.

Am I doing something wrong?  or doesn't 3.0 like troff any more?
