Is it possible to get beautiful prints in GNU Emacs? By default using M-x print-buffer the output looks ugly, with big fonts and no margin.

For source code it would be nice to get a pretty font, syntax highlighting, a header and line numbering.

I would suggest using M-x ps-print-buffer-with-faces, it looks much nicer.

You might find this page about printing on the Emacs Wiki helpful.

The two most interesting options on there are:
