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)
        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 #.
