I just found the best way to get nice printouts from Xcode:
1. Open the source file.
2. Hit command-option-v (View->Reveal in Group Tree).
3. Drag the source file icon to a BBEdit window to display the full
path.
4. In BBEdit, select the path and hit command-d to open it in BBEdit.
5. Print the file from BBEdit.
Not that I would ever try to dissuade you from using BBEdit
(especially with Rich listening in ;-), but what are you missing with
the printing support in Xcode?

Thanks for asking. I would like:
- the ability to specify a different font and font size for printing.
Do you really want to use different fonts, or just sizes? My other
email discusses changing the size.
- show the file name without the full path in the header.
- show "Page # of <total>" instead of just "Page #".
- allow the option of printing the file mod date or the file print
date.
These all seem like reasonable requests. :)
- customization of headers and footers.
Do you just want to be able to specify which things go where in the
headers/footers? Or is there something more?
BBEdit uses much smaller margins. Sometimes I like this. Sometimes I
don't. I assume that it's probably configurable.
I don't think our margin is configurable. Another good request.
The footer of my Xcode printouts are almost completely truncated. Only
the very tops of the letters are visible. Until a few minutes ago, I
thought that there was no footer. I suspect that this is not an Xcode
issue because I've seen similar behavior in other applications (I'm
using an Epson 1280 on 10.3.2).
You might try changing some of the settings in the page setup dialog
(like paper sizes and margins). (While our notion of the margin can't
be changed, maybe the printer's notion can be.) If you can find a
setting that works, we should remember it for you.
