Word works fine for printing RFC's (txt version). However, you may need to
decrease the Top and Bottom margins a little to fit it on one page. To make all
pages identical, you should also add one line at the beginning of the document
(page brakes are interpreted as page brake + new line which adds one empty line
in top of page 2...end, but not on page 1). But as you say, page brakes are
preserved.

You can even print to a networked printer.

This was a few years ago, so perhaps this situation has
changed somewhat.
But just on a whim I decided to produce a set of RFCs in
PDF and solicit
feedback about how useful they are.

p.s. Don't expect these to be any more beautiful than
their originals -
the goal has been to reproduce them faithfully, not to
pretty them up.
