The idea of making a good printing utility is admirable. I have not looked at this one but judging from the reaction of most people its not that good. (Never mind the people who don't print at all.) If I ever would try to make something like this (I am probably too lazy) I would definitly make it as a plugin to VS. I would never even dream of making it a standalone.

At least not me.
I print out code quite often, but what does this tool give me that VS.net doesn't? And VS.net works on my DeskJet and has syntax coloring.
Linenumbers are not that important, are they? I mean, we are not coding with Basic anymore...
This article should get a -infinity rating. It's of no use at all.

FWIW, the few times I've needed to pretty-print C++ code I've found the following *freeware* utility to be more than sufficient:

I took a look at the given page, and wasn't impressed
This is another PCL-only utility, command line only too
I would recommend instead TxtPrint. http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d4orjan/TxtPrint/index.html
It supports multi-columns output, line wrapping, etc. It has print preview. It is very flexible, free of course, and comes with the MFC source... (a good thing because development is stopped).
And of course, it uses Windows way of printing, so it works with all supported printers.
It doesn't do syntax highlighting, that's its only weak point. For this, I use SciTE (http://www.scintilla.org) but I am biased here
Finally, for those having Postscript documents, I would recommend PrintFile. http://hem1.passagen.se/ptlerup/ (another smart name )
It is free too, without source and quite old, but is perfect for printing several pages on one sheet, only on Postscript printers of course (or for use with GhostScript).

... "works only with laser printers"
doesn't detail _what_ laser printers; the "functionality" dragging a created file onto a printer icon suggests that the Windows printer driver is completely circumvented and binary printer data for the author's printer is being produced.
This is braindead.
Other printing settings can't be configured
- tab width
- font
- font size
No, this program is unuseable and won't touch my hard disk. Ever.

also this note is very funny :
Please note that this utility works ONLY with laser printer.
It would be better if we can vote with a negative rating, and if an article reaches a larger number of negative votes, the article should be automatically deleted from CP, this would clean-up the crap here.

You must appreciate people's hard work. Don't be so negative.

No, even worse, it works only with HP laser printers... Probably output directly PCL (or similar language)...
In Windows world, this is quite strange.

My Visual studio environment gives me all the options provided by
this application except the line numbers.
Any I dont think that this application is worth *buying*.
Any one of us here at CP could write it.
Probably even better!!

I print out code every day and could use a utility like this. I printed the same file using VS and using this utility. I like this utility better. There used to be a good printing utility called 4print from Korenthal and Assoc. However, that program only works under DOS and doesn't support the newer laser printers.
I would pay $5-$10 for the professional version, but there are much more utilities posted here for FREE, and include the source.

At least VS.NET offers to print line numbers as well.

Hi Jamie:
You're probably stupid, that's why people don't think to your way.

You're not only gutless, you're also too stupid to see that I am *Christian* and I *quote* Jamie as my sig.
You are a gutless, worthless pussy. Get stuffed.

I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

Hey, what's wrong with Francis? That's my middle name. Or was there an inside joke I missed?

Find the a2ps *free* package
http://www.infres.enst.fr/~demaille/a2ps/
Using is a matter of
a2ps -E main.cc -C -P display
a2ps -E file.h -C -o output.ps
I have no reasons to think that you ripped off a2ps. And I don't want to think that, but the output is soooooo similar and the fact that it only works on Laser Printers... well
Regards,
X.

I really dont even remember the last time I needed to print code. Besides of this, I fully agree with all complaints in the messages below about crippleware.

Two words: code review.
I've participated in a few electronic forms of code review, either using a projector or Net Meeting like applications, but frankly you get better results with print outs provided to everyone before hand. It allows them to read the code after hours when they're away from a computer, to use highlighter pends and make annotations for things the find, etc. And there's something psychological involved as well... mistakes that are obvious to everyone when they read a print out somehow just get glossed over when you read the code in an editor.
I've not looked at this utility, but I've got a similar printing thing I coded as a VC addin that allows you to print line numbers (important for code reviews), print multiple "pages" per page (if you've used 4print you know what I mean) and wrap lines. It allows you to select the font for use, define headers/footers, toggle line numbering on/off, toggle line wrapping on/off, configure the number of columns for multi-page-per-page printing, set margin and gutter sizes, and even define where/if to draw lines for borders and gutters. It also prints using Windows drivers, so there's no LaserJet only limitation. It's a utility that's used a LOT by the folks here.

Is this nifty utility available somewhere?
