You can't do it directly from the files normally installed in /usr/share/doc
since they are just preformatted ascii-files.

First install the sources.
Then cd /usr/src/share/doc/smm/06.nfs  (or whichever paper you want)
Then you do a 'make PRINTERDEVICE=3Dps' and a nice postscript file will
be created.  (If you don't want it gzip'ed use=20
'make PRINTERDEVICE=3Dps NODOCCOMPRESS=3Dyes' instead.)
