        $ mkdir rtfs
        $ for F in src/**.rs; do
        >     pygmentize -o rtfs/$(basename $F .rs).rtf -O linenos=1 $F
        > done

Now open the .rtf files with a word processor and print them.

To change the highlighting theme, e.g. to "pastie":

        $ pygmentize -O style=pastie,linenos=1 ....

This… might actually work. Thanks!

We had a project work to submit C programs. Originally, the teacher told us to write the programs by hand. I had written ~20 C programs in my computer and was feeling lazy to write out all of them by hand onto paper. I then asked the teacher if I could submit the programs printed on paper and she said yes.

I was already using Pygments to highlight my source code and was thinking if I could print them highlighted with it.

Pygments has many formatters to format output. I used .rtf but you can also output images as well.

No, now looked at the docs and saw that linenos does not work with rtf formatter. Sorry :(

(I didn't have to print line numbers back then)

You can generate LaTeX documents, images etc. with line numbers. And then print them. hmm.
