I can't remember the answer to your immediate question. However, I
would propose an alternative. Read your code into emacs (GNU Emacs 19
or XEmacs) and use the automatic indentation facilities there to
reindent. Takes a bit longer, but then your code is permanently
readable. font-lock-mode will make the code very nice to read
(comments in one font/color, function names in another, strings in
another, etc), and ps-print will let you associate font-lock faces
with PostScript fonts when printing. So you could have function names
in bold, comments in italic, etc, both on-screen and in the printouts.

I use this all the time and have become quite accustomed to it.
