But if you print any reasonable-sized chunk of code from Eclipse, you’ll be carrying around several reams of paper, since Eclipse apparently thinks we’re all blind illiterates.

For the past decade, my friend & mentor Jim Crossley and I have been passing the same encscript alias back and forth.  I recently had to request it from him again.  (Mental note: put it in SCM somewhere…)

alias print='enscript --color=blackwhite -E -T4 -M Letterdj -C -2 -fCourier@5/5 -r $*'

It’ll spew out your code in landscape mode, syntax-highlighted, two columns of 90 lines each (180 lines total per page), with line-numbers and a nice-looking header.

Many times, this allows you to fit an entire class on a single sheet without any gratuitous wrapping due to Eclipse’s 24pt font usage.
