I haven't yet needed to pretty-print Ruby source, but I'd do it the
way that I do everything I need to pretty-print. (It's unfortunately
a very manual process, though.)

1. I load the file into VIM.
2. VIM does syntax highlighting for me (I also use line numbering,
   so VIM automatically provides line numbers, too.)
3. I do Syntax|Convert to HTML
4. I save the HTML file and load it in a web browser.
5. I print the resulting web page.
