I am presently using a2ps and gs-alladin to format text files into postscript and then print them using gs. If I create a script containing the gs command, this could be my print filter in the printcap file (don't remember if it's "if" or "of").
My problem is that whenever I issue the gs command to print something formatted by a2ps, the output always includes one extra blank page and the last printed page (before the blank one) always looks like the last line of print has been cut off by about a fraction of a millimeter. My theory is that the papersize used by either program is incompatible. I believe gs is using what it calls "letter" defined as 8.5x11 and a2ps is using something with some code which I can't remember but which looks like an ISO standard ... or something. Maybe instead of getting the binaries I should compile the source in order to be able to configure defaults that will be compatible between the two programs.....if that is in fact the problem.
