I don't like it running >Ghostscript just for listings... I tried apsfilter once, and had a similar dislike. I finally got off my but, borrowed a shell script from my roommate, and ended up writing a Perl program to use as the input filter. If apsfilter is broken enough to not recognize plain text, then maybe you should get my program. If you have dvips installed as well, you can provide the illusion of printing dvi files directly, too. It's not too much of a program, but if you want it you can go to ftp://ftp.csua.berkeley.edu/pub/tmonroe/newpsfilter.
