I haven't found an option to print from Bluefish itself yet, however
if you just need syntax-highlighting, you can do so with vim, like
this:

vim "+ha >test.ps" +q test.php

should print syntax-highlighted to a postscript file. ("+q" is for
quitting vim immediately after printing.)
If this is useful enough for you, it might be possible to elaborate on
it (like printing to pdf straight away) and add it to "external
commands" in Bluefish, for convenience.

Thank you so much for all the replies.

I have to say that ultimately a PDF is much more useful to me than PS.

Going the VIM route seems good. Can it go straight in to PDF though?

Also the files that I edit are stored remotely, and I edit them in
Bluefish via GnomeVFS (samba shares). If I put the VIM command in to
bluefish is it going to handle this OK?

Many thanks, Gabriel
