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 kern-
       ing 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 #.
