What could I use to print javascript, php or css code in colour? I've tried the following:
All of these result in black and white code. It seems such a fundamental thing and most Windows text editors have this basic functionality. Has anyone got anything that can do this in OS X?

Have you tried TextWrangler or its big brother, BBEdit from Bare Bones Software?

Vim/Gvim has no problem with printing syntax highlighting. Just pick some nice colour scheme (preferably with a white background) and :hardcopy.

i thank you for your help, unfortunately I'm not quite at geek factor 9 yet, so I've chosen a laymans tool :p – Pickledegg – 2009-10-13T10:40:34.913
oh, i don't mind ... i also thought gvim was a little weird before i started using it ... then after picking out my brain, and putting it a new one and completely reprogramming it, i now happily use it everyday :) – Rook – 2009-10-15T17:17:46.497

I know for a fact Netbeans can do this, and it is multiplatform. It can also save the code as a webpage with syntax highlighting that you can print.

cool i'll check out dashcode, although it appears to have vanished from my os. :) – Pickledegg – 2009-10-13T10:41:19.373
@Pickledegg: You'll have to have the Developer Tools installed. They come as an optional install on the Mac OS X installation disc. Alternatively, you can download them from http://developer.apple.com/technology/Xcode.html (free ADC membership required).
