UTF-8 enabled enscript - looking for a way to print UTF-8 text from CLI?
Whenever I to use enscript to print a text file with characters out of base ASCII range, the results are garbled. gedit works well, but I'm looking for something like enscript where you can control things quickly: rotate orientation; control fontsize; add or eliminate banners; etc.
Advice?
Much thanks,

Specifically, enscript can't do UTF-8 encodings. Use paps instead:
"sudo yum install paps"

If you have a compose key, you should be able to use the characters that Compose key will make in the CLI. I just tried it in PCLOS and it works. (It also works in Thunderbird: ¢ ó Ñ £ and so on.)
