I don't know if redirecting and lpr'ing will work. 

But the texinfo system was designed so that you could produce an online
manual and a printed manual with one effort.  Do "info texinfo" to read all
about it.  Then when you get the texinfo source (the source from which the
info file was created) you can choose to generate a printed manual and it
will level out all the hyperlinks and show everything sequentially.   It
will look all nice and typeset with Bold headings and different fonts, etc.

Its actually a nice system for producing documentation.
