I have seen ASCII->PS query too much lately. Why don't we say this:
there are a number of ASCII->PS converters, and a2ps from science.utah.edu
seems to having  used on many machines.

If the interested respond quick enough (since my accounts going out), I  may
even offer you a package which can do much more then you desire. It is
can be used as ASCII->PS with default font being 12pt Courier of 6.5in
linewidth. Lines longer than that are wrapped around. However, you can
also use it as a formatter using any of the Adobe fonts (specified in 
TFM files). It was originally  designed for Chinese text.
