UTF-8 enabled enscript? - looking for a way to print UTF-8 text from CLI

UTF-8 enabled enscript - looking for a way to print UTF-8 text from CLI?

Whenever I to use enscript to print a text file with characters out of 
base ASCII range, the results are garbled. gedit works well, but I'm 
looking for something  like enscript where you can control things quickly: 
rotate orientation; control fontsize; add or eliminate banners; etc.

Advice?

Much thanks,

Specifically, enscript can't do UTF-8 encodings. Use paps instead:

"sudo yum install paps"

If you have a compose key, you should be able to use the characters
that Compose key will make in the CLI. I just tried it in PCLOS and it
works. (It also works in Thunderbird: ¢ ó Ñ £ and so on.)

Doesn't it just work? If not, install the 'paps' package and restart
CUPS.
