I'd really like to change it to 12 pitch at the least.  I'm a long time
WordStar devotee and want to stick w/ good old jstar.

 The good old "lpr" sent raw ascii bytes to the printer.

Ah, but the current one is part of cups.

The program you need to do simple formatting in PostScript before
handing the file to CUPS is the "enscript" program. Simple and well
documented.

Ah, that one. :-)
FILES
         ...
        /etc/enscript.cfg                 system-wide configuration file
        /etc/enscriptsite.cfg             site configuration file
        ~/.enscriptrc                     personal configuration file
        ~/.enscript/                      personal resource directory
So you can customize the defaults.
