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
