<grin> Isn't this just typical of man page documentation --
gives you the forest but not the trees.  Keep it abstract, and
avoid offering a few well chosen concrete examples  ;>

At work I typically use Gvim (the GUI version of Vim) to print,
so it is easy - File > Print.

I'm going by memory, but I think the command I see it using is
something like:
  :w | lpr
or something like that.

YMMV,
