Mike,
I think we need still a bit more info.
It sounds like you are doing something like
lpr .cshrc
and want it use courier10
What are you using for spooling? Standard lpd? lpr-ng? CUPS?
Personally, I prefer to use a2ps (ascii to ps) or one of
nenscript/genscript/enscript. These all have font (and two
pages/page) options.
so in your case,
enscript -f Courier10 .cshrc | lpr
Is this what you are after?
You can use magicfilters (or several other methods) to setup
"intelligent" spooling that will recognize ascii and pipe it through
enscript while properly passing ps..
