I have a few nroff source files that I'd like to print out.  The printer I
have access to is an Imagen printer.  I know I could format the files for
a generic line printer, and lpr them to the Imagen printer, but this would
loose features such as bold, underline, etc.  Is there an easy way to run
these nroff source files thru troff (actually thru itroff) so as to print
them on the Imagin printer with all text features available?

Thank you for any help.
