Nicolas -

I was responding to "... you can't print from Bluefish ..." and nothing
more.  That's the problem when a thread splits into several pieces.
Clearly my reply had limited value to the op - however it could be of
value to others who do not believe you can print from Bluefish.
Someone already gave the answer I would have - paste into Open
Office Write and then convert to pdf - which is closer to addressing
the op.

Also, in the past I have used Bluefish for editing C routines.  The color
is excellent and my commands print it the way it looks on the screen.
Again, a deviation from the op and there are better programs for
editing C routines.

Sorry for the confusion I will drop out of this thread.  Hope my info
helped at least someone.

best regards
