It doesn't look straightforward if you use a2ps as the last resort.
I would suggest you use a2ps to print the file (as postscript) and
let magicfilter handle that.
a2ps has so many options, and they all changed between bo and hamm,
so I use a bash wrapper for the ones I commonly want, and I have a
copy of dwww's realpath to print the canonical name of the file
rather than what I typed. For example, 2up landscape:
if [ "$1" == "" ]; then
echo Usage: l2up filename-to-be-printed-landscape [options-for-a2ps]
else
{
REALPATH=`$HOME/realpath $1` ;
shift;
if [ -f "$REALPATH" ]
then
a2ps "$REALPATH" -2 \
--header='%T %E' \
--left-title=\$f \
--right-title='line $l^' \
--center-title --left-footer --footer $@
else
...
