DESCRIPTION

26       This  utility  provides  functionality  approximately equivalent to the
27       Unix enscript(1) program.  It prints plain text files  using  a  single
28       font.  It currently handles tabs and formfeeds, but not backspaces.  It
29       will line-wrap when using fixed-pitch fonts.  It will also  do  kerning
30       and width adjustment.
31
32       The default device (-sDEVICE=) and resolution (-r) are as follows:
33             gslp      epson      180
34             gsbj      bj10e      180
35             gsdj      deskjet    300
36             gsdj500   djet500    300
37             gslj      laserjet   300
38       By default the current date is formatted as the center header.

51
52              --add-to-space <units>
53                     add  the given number of 1/72" units to the width of each
54                     space (may be negative)
55
56              --add-to-width <units>
57                     add the given number of 1/72" units to the width of  each
58                     character (may be negative)
59
60              --columns <n>
61                     print in <n> columns
62
63              --detect
64                     treat the file as PostScript if it starts with %!
65
66              --first-page <n>
67                     start printing at page <n>
68
69              --kern <file.afm>
70                     kern using information from the given .AFM file
71
72              --last-page <n>
73                     stop printing after page <n>
74
75              --(heading|footing)-(left|center|right) <string>
76                     set the heading/footing fields; use -B first to clear
77
78              --margin-(top|bottom|left|right) <inches>
79                     set a margin
80
81              --no-eject-(file|formfeed)
82                     end-of-file/FF only starts a new column, not a new sheet
83
84              --spacing <n>
85                     use double (n=2), triple (n=3), etc. spacing
