I found in the Debian archive the package "enscript", which appears to
provide (at least for my needs) the functionality of "a2ps"; and enscript
handles unicode.

Whereas a2ps worked well "right out of the box", It took me several hours
of experimentation with enscript to create a format to my liking,
particularly with respect to the margins; things do not seem (to me) to
work according to the documentation.

But the end result is a satisfactory replacement for a2ps.
