A possible replacement of a2ps? http://developer.berlios.de/projects/u2ps
However, it doesn't seem to be packaged in Debian/Ubuntu, and it requires adding some extra Perl libraries. The installer doesn't work out-of-the-box. paps does not support most features of a2ps. It cannot be used as a drop-in replacement. gnome-a2ps pulls too many gnome libraries. (gvfs? libbonobo? wtf!) ** Description changed: Binary package hint: a2ps "a2ps --encoding=NAME" supports ASCII, EUC-JP, HPRoman, IBM-CP437, IBM- CP850, ISO-8859-1 to -15, JOI8, MS-CP1250 and Macintosh. But utf-8, the default text file encoding for ubuntu, is neither the default nor even supported. + + WORKAROUNDS: + + * use iconv or recode to convert to a supported encoding: + + recode UTF-8..Latin-1 | a2ps + + * http://developer.berlios.de/projects/u2ps + + However, it doesn't seem to be packaged in Debian/Ubuntu, and it + requires adding some extra Perl libraries.
