DESCRIPTION
       This utility provides functionality approximately  equiva-
       lent  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
  -f -F -L
              -p

       Sun switches implemented:
              -T     set tab width

       Switches ignored:
              -GghKkmow -# -C -d -J -n -P -S -s -t -v

       Switches added:

              --add-to-space 
                     add the given number of 1/72" units  to  the
                     width of each space (may be negative)

              --add-to-width 
                     add  the  given number of 1/72" units to the
                     width of each character (may be negative)

              --columns 
                     print in  columns

              --detect
                     treat the file as PostScript  if  it  starts
                     with %!

              --first-page 
                     start printing at page 

              --kern 
                     kern  using  information from the given .AFM
                     file

              --last-page 
                     stop printing after page 

              --(heading|footing)-(left|center|right) 
                     set the heading/footing fields; use -B first
                     to clear

              --margin-(top|bottom|left|right) 
                     set a margin

              --no-eject-(file|formfeed)
                     end-of-file/FF only starts a new column, not
                     a new sheet

              --spacing 
                     use double (n=2), triple (n=3), etc. spacing
       Also,  the  string  %# in a heading or footing is replaced
       with the page #.
