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 form-
     feeds, 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>

     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 #.
