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.

Standard switches implemented:

-12BclqRr -b<header> -f<font> -F<hfont> -L<lines> -p<outfile>

Sun switches implemented:

-T<n> set tab width

Switches ignored:

-GghKkmow -# -C -d -J -n -P -S -s -t -v

Switches added:

–add-to-space <units>

add the given number of 1/72“ units to the width of each space (may be negative)

–add-to-width <units>

add the given number of 1/72“ units to the width of each character (may be negative)

–columns <n>

print in <n> columns

–detect

treat the file as PostScript if it starts with %!

–first-page <n>

start printing at page <n>

–kern <file.afm>

kern using information from the given .AFM file

–last-page <n>

stop printing after page <n>

–(heading|footing)-(left|center|right) <string>

set the heading/footing fields; use -B first to clear

–margin-(top|bottom|left|right) <inches>

set a margin

–no-eject-(file|formfeed)

end-of-file/FF only starts a new column, not a new sheet

–spacing <n>

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

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