I use enscript. I have an alias defined as:

alias en='enscript --pretty-print --fancy-header --line-numbers --landscape --color --columns=2'

In the Terminal, just type "en <file name(s)>" to print. You could also hack up something in the Script menu so you don't have to use the Terminal.

Also not a direct solution but opening your files in Text Wrangler (free version of BBEdit) will allow you to add line numbers that will print out. If you use TextMate I THINK it behaves the same as Xcode and gutter displays line numbers but doesn't print them. TextMate is so extensible there is probably a way to make it print them as well but I'm not that familiar.

PS I am speaking of Xcode < v3 here. I've only dabbled in v3 so I can't say what may have been added.

Not line number on printouts.

Back in the '90s on Solaris, I used to have to hack up scripts for NEdit to print source code with enscript. Ten years later I have to do the same thing with Xcode.
