... and enscript looks like it only works with PostScript printers...

Kirk

First, use -pfilename instead of -Pprintername. This will write the output to a PostScript file.

Next, use ps2pdf to convert your newly created filename.ps to filename.pdf. ps2pdf is available from numerous places, including as part of a GhostScript install (or via Fink).

Finally, use regular old lpr to print the PDF file you created in the second step.

vs

lp -o landscape testfile

?

Hmmm... what to choose?

I agree with an earlier post. Read the cups manpage.

I fiddled briefly and came up with the one-liner

enscript -h -r -G -E -2 --color -i 2 -fCourier7 -o - fwdtest.cpp | ps2pdf - | lpr

Then I create a script in ~/bin/lprint.sh

#!/bin/sh
for k in $* ; do
enscript -h -r -G -E -2 --color -i 2 -fCourier7 -o - $k | \
ps2pdf -|lpr
done

and made it executable

chmod +x ~/bin/lprint.sh
