What about trying this: yelp man:firewall-cmd
. . . and then using yelp to find and print the appropriate page? I am
pretty sure that yelp can be used to print (and I know that you can use
it to at least view man pages).
Of course, this is all moot if you are working from a server or don't
have yelp installed.
