I just tried a2ps and it produces decent looking output on an old script of
mine.
It looks like there are a few knobs to turn.
a2ps -o file.ps -Eperl file.pl
Other programs to look at:
enscript
Source-highlight
trueprint
lgrind
I, for one, would be interested in finding out what you discover/decide on for
future reference.
