Followed by a link on Kent Pitman's homesite, I found that 
there is something looking like the next to last draft of CL ANSI standard in
dvi/tex format on
<URL:ftp://parcftp.xerox.com/pub/cl/dpANS3/>,
<URL:ftp://parcftp.xerox.com/pub/cl/dpANS3R/>. 

The document version is X3J13/94-101R and last changes were made on 12 August
of 1994. As I understand, there is no technical changes between this version
and ANSI X3.226-1994. So, I think, it can be a great help for people that (like
me) wish to have printed copy of the standard, but aren't satisfied with
quality of the existed document from ANSI.

I Google'd for "ansi common lisp postscript" and the only relevant link
I found (which unfortunately was broken) was on Marty Hall's page. Where
are the PostScript files available from?

  I have made them available at <http://naggum.no/ANSI-CL/>.  To grab the
  whole thing, use ANSI-CL.tar.gz, which is listed in but not linked to by
  the above page, in case anyone wants to grab the PostScript files with a
  recursive get instead of grabbing the tarball.  I have taken precautions
  to disallow robots from wasting bandwidth by retrieving these files and
  will remove them when the first robot needlessly fetches them.

Thank you for making these available.

I've now mirrored them under <URL: http://quimby.gnus.org/circus/cl/>, 
along with the tex/dvi files noted by Aleksandr Skobelev in another
article, conveniently packed up as tar.gz files.

Feel free to have a robot needlessly fetch them, y'all.  :-)

And just in case somebody wants download the whole thing without
breaking his fingers clicking through all the files, he can get
them like this (using CLAWK and CL-FTP):

(defpackage "FTPFETCH"
  (:use "CL" "FTP" "CLAWK")
  (:export "FTPFETCH" "*FTP-DIR*"))

(in-package "FTPFETCH")

(defvar *ftp-dir* "home:ftp;")

(defawk get-file ()
  (declare (special *conn*))
  ((!~ $1 #/^total/) (let* ((file-name (remove #\Return ($n *NF*)))
                            (local-name (merge-pathnames (parse-namestring
                                                          file-name)
                                                         *ftp-dir*)))
                       (retrieve-file *conn* file-name local-name))))

(defun get-them (conn dir)
  (let ((*conn* conn))
    (declare (special *conn*))
    (send-cwd-command conn dir)
    (with-input-from-string (s (send-nlst-command conn nil))
      (get-file s))))

(defun ftpfetch (host directories &key (port 21) (user "anonymous")
                      (password ·······@duck.com"))
  (with-ftp-connection (conn :hostname host :port port
                             :username user :password password)
    (unless (listp directories)
      (setq directories (list directories)))
    (handler-case
        (dolist (dir directories)
          (get-them conn dir))
      (ftp-error (cnd) (format *error-output* "~&~A" cnd)))))

(ftpfetch "parcftp.xerox.com" "/pub/cl/dpANS3/")
(ftpfetch "parcftp.xerox.com" "/pub/cl/dpANS3R/")

[snip bad code]

I should add that this was just a quick hack to do one particular
job.  FTPFETCH will /not/ work in general cases.  So: No
warranty; if you want a usable FTP grabber you have to fix some
things.
