You need to check
   the a2ps man page
   /etc/apdfilterrc

This should solve the landscape problem, but I don't know about the point
size.

I have my own problems with apsfilter.  When printing ascii to "auto" it
skips the a2ps step and the output comes out just as if it were printed
via "raw".  Any ideas on this one?  Would somebody who has it working send
me the log file of a print job?
