Font weights

[Joe Trent]

As a follow-up question:

How do you change the font when printing text to the printer?

I've tried changing the default font in the ppd like:
	*DefaultFont:Courier-Bold
and
	lp -s -dHP4101 -o font=Courier-Bold testfile

It doesn't seem to change the font. I can change the size with the -o 
cpi=xx job option.

Thanks,

Joe
