a2ps. enscript and (possibly) paps date from the era (not so long ago)
when PostScript was COW (centre of the world). That is not to say they
have outlived their usfulness (yet) but things have moved on to PDF.
In particular, PDF is a pivotol aspect of the default printing system,
as well as many printers sold today. It also seems to be the common
way of distributing documents.
