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.
