Here are some solutions I've used for printing :
set print_command="fmt -s | mpage -1 -f -H | lpr -"
set print_command="enscript -j --header='$n|%W|Page $% of $=' -f "Courier11" -i3
--word-wrap "
set print_command="a2ps -1 -R --pretty-print=mail -o - | lpr -"
As you can see, there are a lot of "ps-formatter" that do this sort of
job. a2ps gives very nice output, with different fonts for the header
and so, but I think he doesn't wrap the lines. Maybe beginning the pipe
with "fmt -s" ?
Another idea is to change the last part of the pipe ("| lpr -") by this
one "| gv -", so you can visualize the output, and select the
appropriate pages, before printing. But it works only with X. Maybe it
could be possible to give a condition ?
