DESCRIPTION

This utility provides functionality approximately equivalent to the Unix enscript(1) program. It prints plain text files using a single font. It currently handles tabs and formfeeds, but not backspaces. It will line-wrap when using fixed-pitch fonts. It will also do kerning and width adjustment.

The default device (-sDEVICE=) and resolution (-r) are as follows:



      gslp      epson      180


      gsbj      bj10e      180


      gsdj      deskjet    300


      gsdj500   djet500    300


      gslj      laserjet   300
By default the current date is formatted as the center header.

OPTIONS

-12BclqRr -b<header> -f<font> -F<hfont> -L<lines> -p<outfile>
-T<n> set tab width
-GghKkmow -# -C -d -J -n -P -S -s -t -v

print in <n> columns
treat the file as PostScript if it starts with %!
start printing at page <n>
kern using information from the given .AFM file
stop printing after page <n>
--(heading|footing)-(left|center|right) <string>
set the heading/footing fields; use -B first to clear

use double (n=2), triple (n=3), etc. spacing

Also, the string %# in a heading or footing is replaced with the page #.
