'Enscript' is replaced by 'a2ps'
--------------------------------
  'Enscript' and 'a2ps' convert text files to PostScript on UNIX computers.

  On EECS Solaris 10 computers, /usr/sww/bin/enscript has been replaced by 
  /usr/sww/bin/a2ps.   Examples:

  a2ps -r2 -P PRINTER		# prints landsacpe, 2 pages per side PRINTER
  a2ps -DDuplex:true -P PRINTER	# prints duplex to PRINTER

  Here are some common arguments to enscript and the equivalent in a2ps:

  enscript		a2ps			purpose
  -------------------	-------------------	----------------------------
  -d PRINTER		-P PRINTER 		name of the printer
  -f Courier7		-f Courier7		set font size
  -DDuplex:false  	-s 1			print single-sided
  -DDuplex:true  	-s 2			print double-sided
  -r			-r			print landscape
  -R			-R			print potrait
  -B			-B			print no header
  -G 			-b			print fancy header
  -------------------	-------------------	----------------------------

  Please see 'man -M /usr/sww/man a2ps' for more options.
