Jorge, I found a paragraph on my Redhat 9.0 system.  It reads:
------
-E[lang], --pretty-print[=lang]
  Pretty-print source code by creating a special input filter
  with the states program.  Optional argument lang specifies the
  language to highlight, as a default states makes an educated
  guess.

  A description of supported highlighting languages and file for-
  mats can be printed with command:

  enscript --help-pretty-print

  The highlighting rules are defined in the
  `/usr/share/enscript/enscript.st' file which can be edited to
  create highlighting definitions for new languages.

  Note! You can't use your own input filters with this option.

HTH,
Brad.
