I still had problem making enscript use this so here is my pretty print script:

#!/bin/bash
# usage pprint infile
enscript -2r -DDuplex:false --fancy-header -o /tmp/$1.ps $1 
ps2pdf /tmp/$1.ps /tmp/$1.pdf
cygstart /tmp/$1.pdf 

then it brings up adobe and I hit print.

I am using this from mutt as well.
