FILES

         ...

        /etc/enscript.cfg                 system-wide configuration file
        /etc/enscriptsite.cfg             site configuration file
        ~/.enscriptrc                     personal configuration file
        ~/.enscript/                      personal resource directory


So you can customize the defaults.
