     Once a programmer changed his tab indentation to 4 spaces and
     guess what happen when he tried to print the file?...If you use
     'ed' to edit a vi file with tabstop set to 4, you better make sure
     your terminal is wide enough.  You can not show your file on your
     colleague's terminal with 8 spaces tabs without extra work...

I usually do something like this:

     pr file ... | expand -3 | lpr               # to print
     less -x3 file ...                           # to send to screen
