For PostScript files the font size is given by the file, but for simple
text file, scripts, program sources, and so on you can adjust the size.
Use the command
xpp <file name> &
to print the file. Then you get a window where you can choose the
printer. After choosing the desired printer click on "Options" and
another dialog appears. Click on the "Text" tab. Now lower the numbers
for "Characters per inch" and "Lines per inch". For C/C++ listings turn
on "Enhanced C-code printing". If characters at the borders are cut off,
adjust also the borders with the sliders.
