- Code Review
Pretty printing source code from Linux: enscript -r -2 -C -E<language> -P <printer> <filename>, where language is c or cpp, printer is the name of your printer as you would pass it to lpr, and filename is the .c or .cpp file. This will queue the file to the printer. For two-sided printing (if avaialble), add-o sides=two-sided-long-edge to the end.
