enscript converts ASCII files to Postscript.
enscript is an almost typical autoconf based package, but tries to install to unusual directories.
Install enscript by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc/enscript --localstatedir=/var &&
make &&
make install |
Note: Add "--with-media=letter" to the configure options if that medium format is common to you.
--sysconfdir=/etc/enscript : Configuration data goes to /etc/enscript instead of /usr/etc.
--localstatedir=/var : directory for runtime data is set to /var instead of /usr/var.
enscript is a filter program. The package consists of the program enscript and some files of filter data to convert ASCII files to Postscript.
