David, The a2ps-4.13-1 package has a slight problem. First off, the /etc/a2ps-site.cfg should be installed by a post-install script, otherwise it'll be overwritten on every reinstall (and you don't want that, that file is intended for site-specific configuration).
Another couple of problems with the default a2ps-site.cfg (one reported in <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-11/msg00573.html>) can be fixed by the patch below.
