I'm looking through some of WordPress' core code and would like to print it out to review.
I'm looking for a tool that
- defaults to a monospace font
- can wrap long lines
- possibly print line numbers in the left column
- maximize space usage on a page (i.e. would be nice if it didn't start with 2" margins)
What I've tried already:
- Textmate: Unable to change screen and print font size independently. I don't want to have to switch back and forth
- TextEdit: Options don't seem very helpful
- MS Word: Have to paste the input, change line spacing and font. Painful.
- Coda: Has the most options. Closest to what I want so far. Does not seem to save my print preferences as defaults though.

I would use
enscript --line-numbers -f fontname --word-wrap --margins=… filename
On my Linux systems
enscript filename
, by default, prints the file to my default printer (which understands Postscript - I don't buy any other sort).In OS X, you can print to a PDF file using
pstopdf
:You can tweak global or personal settings for enscript to make those options standard so you just enter a command
enscript filename
. You may be able to set up an option in your favourite text editor that invokes external command enscript for you.
