I have occasion to need to print code (Horrors!!! ;) ), and i was wondering what editor or tool would i use to print that code out with proper formatting and syntax highlighting? If it's important, it will be c# code but ideally the tool will work for as many languages as possible. Can Notepad++ or something handle this?

I while ago I created a household python script that wraps pygments into a small console utility. It works with any language supported by pygments.
Also if you happen to use eclipse, you could simply copy the selected text in the editor and then paste it in a RTF-aware editor like MS Word - it will preserve all the colors, fonts and formatting.
Use ConTEXT programming editor (which is free). I am using it for both generating .pdf-s with syntax highlighted source code and printing to paper.
There are many ConTEXT syntax highlihting definitions to download and you can make your own highligher file which will BTW be highlighted using the ConTEXT Highlighter Files highlighter definition.
I do it downloading js and css files from
There are so many 5-7 options to select the theme and language highlighter. Once you select a theme and download the tiny js/css files the next thing you need to do is rename the code file to html, and call the css/js files. Open the html in a browser and print it. Done!
