a2ps dates back from when PDF was a crappy format where you either had
to use proprietary Acrobat Reader or Libre readers unable to show most
files properly.

I mean, its web page has the HTML tags in all caps and no CSS, and the
download link is FTP.

Again, a command-line front-end for Pango + Cairo would do the job
excellently, and be able to produce PNG, SVG and much more.
