enscript cannot do the job. I always cannot figure out how to change the font for enscript output, and the language support for highlighting in enscript is limited. With pygmentize and xelatex, we can do a better job.

It invokes xelatex command with -shell-escape option. The LaTeX code
generated will use minted package, which in turn calls pygmentize command to
format source code. It uses fancyhdr package for header and footers and tikz
package for page underlays (i.e. watermarks). Font support is provided by
fontspec package. By default, it expects a font named "Inconsolata" available
and accessible by fontspec. This has been tested with TexLive 2017. An older
version of TexLive or older version of LaTeX packages may not compatible.
Most arguments are same as that of enscript. The following command
$ mintscript.py -M a4paper --footer 'sample output' -u 'TESTING' -r -2 <some_plain_text_file>
Generates the following LaTeX code and run through XeLaTeX to generate the PDF, in the same directory as the input file.

\end{document}XeLaTeX is used in order to make use of TTF available in the system. Currently
we set all fonts used in the LaTeX document to be the same (default Inconsolata,
adjustable by -f option). Additional options pass on to geometry package,
set font command of fontspec package, or \inputminted command of minted
package are allowed via the options --geometry-args, --fontspec-args,
--minted-args, respectively.
Intermediate files will be generated for and by LaTeX system but they will be cleaned up automatically.
