I 
finally discovered how to make a font look condensed.

enscript --no-header -fCourier@7/11 
-margin=7:7:21:21 --output=test.ps 
/usr/users/richard/test.txt

The 
7/11 is width/height of the font.  If you decrease the width, 
then you can cram more text on a page!
COOL

  Compressed Font

  Does anyone know 
  where I can find a Courier Compressed font (.afm file), or if it is possible 
  to modify the /usr/share/enscript/com.afm file (Courier font file not 
  compressed) so that the letters would be more compressed.  I've googled 
  it and only found commercial versions of the Courier Compressed font.  
  Any fixed pitch font that is compressed would work.
  Thanks
