How to print wide files (132 chars or more)

To print a wide text file, use the "enscript" command, like so:

	enscript  -Pprinter  -r  filename

This will print the file, rotated on the page, with a heading.  To suppress
the header, use:

	enscript  -Pprinter  -Br  filename

"Enscript" can print your files many different ways, including printing two
columns on the page.  This is especially good for program listings:

	enscript  -Pprinter  -2r  filename

For more information about "enscript", type:

	man  enscript
