This will only work if you actually send text files to print:

  lp -d printername -o lpi=7 /path/to/file.txt

However, with 7 lines per inch, and 66 lines per page you are already
pre-determining the imageable area size of the medium to ~ 9.43 inches
(or 23.95 cm). That means you have to adapt the margins to take account
of this.
