The 'cpi' option affects how CUPS handles plain text files.  However, if
you are using a2ps then you are already converting the plain text files
into PostScript -- and once you've done that CUPS can't change the font
size any longer.

So instead of this:

  a2ps -o file.ps < file.txt
  lp -o cpi=10 file.ps

Try this:

  lp -o cpi=10 file.txt
