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
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)
