Yes, A2PS_OPTS is still valid to overwrite default a2ps options
completely.

     *)
            find_filter a2ps || fatal_filter a2ps

            if [ "$A2PS_OPTS" ]; then
                  ^^^^^^^^^^
                print_ps a2ps '$A2PS_OPTS' -q -o -
                               ^^^^^^^^^^
            else

I think you used the wrong commandline options, maybe you are still
using old 4.3 syntax ...

Test it with:
a2ps [options] filename | gv -
or
a2ps [options] filename | ghostview -

Then real life test:
a2ps [options] -o - filename | lpr
