Is there any working port of something like a2ps (pretty print)?

I've tried my own install of a2ps, as well as the fink install, with no success.

Anything I try to print yields

Code:
>a2ps .login 
[.login (plain): 1 page on 1 sheet]
request id is C60_SerieshUSBi-123 (1 file(s))
[Total: 1 page on 1 sheet] sent to the default printer

with no actual printer output. Not sure what directory to watch for the printer queue?

Thanks,
Mike

PS. What about in 10.3?

Ok, I searched around and found enscript... I'm having _some_ luck with it (based on something I found at macosxhints) , tho the margins seem off (just of the page on the left side in landscape 2 col mode, and too much gap at the top, in 1 col normal).

Code:
enscript -h -r -G -E -i 2 -fCourier7 -o - .login | ps2pdf - | lpr

Using --list-options, the page size seems the same as what I see in the a2ps config files for Letter.

I get the same result with

Code:
a2ps -o - .login | ps2pdf - | lpr

Code:
>a2ps --list-options
                       Configuration status of a2ps 4.12
