.SH DESCRIPTION
This utility provides functionality approximately equivalent to the Unix
.BR 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.
.PP
The default device (\-sDEVICE=) and resolution (\-r) are as follows:
.nf
.na
gslp epson 180
gsbj bj10e 180
gsdj deskjet 300
gsdj500 djet500 300
gslj laserjet 300
.ad
.fi
By default the current date is formatted as the center header.
