[ale] Changing default font for lp command

[Jeff Lightner]

I imagine it is printer specific.  I remember once upon a time one had
to actually by font personality cards for LaserJets.

Google didn't have an answer but one thing did point to ghostscript
which should have occurred to me.   It does allow you to pipe output to
printers (they say lpr rather than lp) and have some examples in the man
page.  That may be a place to research.

Thanks Jeff, but we're actually talking about the font. Looks like a
courier-ish one coming out by default. I've never dove into this part of
cups (and yes, we've consulted the docs). Is there now way or is this
printer specific?
