Gedit and Printing

Well, it almost works. Maybe someone can help me on this:
When I do
print file.txt
or
cat file.txt | print
it works fine. I think this is because the files are text files.
When I tell gedit to use print, I think it's converting the file to
postscript before it sends it to print. When print gets it, it passes
it to enscript. enscript takes a look at it and says (-Z option) leave
this alone and prints it without any of the enscript features I want.
But, if I turn off -Z, the raw postscript goes to the printer (not good
;) )! So there's something else about printing I need to understand.
Any ideas?
