create a shell script to install enscript from ports and to create
an enscript shell script to be used as the input filter.

create another shell script to edit /etc/printcap as appropriate.

test. fine tune.  you have automated the process for future use.


i specify/like enscript instead of apsfilter as it's light & doesn't
install tons of unnecessary software.  enscript changes text files
to postscript and lets PS & PDF files go thru as is.
