Although this doesn't directly address your issues, I would recommend
looking at a2ps ( http://www.gnu.org/software/a2ps/ )  It is what I always
used when I needed to print out source code in college or even now.  It is
very configurable, you can have it put line numbers on the printout for you,
you can have two pages side -by -side and it usually formats C/C++
sourcecode well.

I usually run it as follows:

a2ps -P <printername> -2 --line-numbers=5 file.cpp

this will print file.cpp to printer <printername> with two "pages" per sheet
of paper with line numbers every 5 lines.  Anyway, it is one of those
programs I really like a lot and find that many people don't know about.
Just thought I would share.
