REQ: Program for printing ASCII/ANSI

I apologize if this is inappropriate to post here but I knew no other group.
My situation is: I often see combination ANSI/ASCII *.NFO files which I would like to print
which sometimes have cute/fancy borders, boxes and such. The only ascii file viewer I have does not have
a printing function and neither do any *.NFO viewing programs. Is there such a program that WILL
print what I am seeing? Also if I try to choose a fixed-width font ie: Courier I notice there is no way
to view/print ANSI files/characters. Maybe this is easier than I am seeing. Please fill me in with any info
and email to me at: kmc...@NOSPAM.austin.rr.com (remove the NOSPAM)

You could try using EditPad to convert ANSI files.

http://www.editpadpro.com/editpadlite.html The "lite" version is free for
non-commercial use.

YES...and that doesn't do a thing  :(

I just need to know HOW I can print out
an otherwise ANSI and/or ASCII file and see
the actual boxes/borders/art that always shows as
regular ascii characters.

For ASCII-Files: 
from WINDOWS: 
  execute "command" or "cmd", then see DOS.
from DOS: 
  copy FILE.NFO PRN:
 
Works with most printers (in fact all with proper cross-platform support)
