If your printer is setup to print plain ascii files, then try:

That's a great suggestion! I just tried that with the GPC manual, and it works very well.
For GPC specifically, and for anyone interested in the "cookbook" instructions, first obtain the GPC source (e.g., gpc-20010924.tar.gz) from:
ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/alpha/
Unpack all of the files that are present in the archive in the "/gpc- 20010924/p/doc" directory and subdirectories under that one (be sure to preserve the directory structure when unpacking). Then change to the "doc" directory and run makeinfo with this command line:
makeinfo --fill-column=78 --no-headers --force -o gpc.txt -I generated -I en en\gpc.texi
(that command should be all on one line). The resulting "gpc.txt" version of the GPC manual is about 1 MB.
