Why not use mpage?  Pretty powerful and you can specify fonts on the command
line if the courier font doesn't suit you.

for example to print /etc/group I use "mpage -1 /etc/group |lpr -Plaserjet"

you can set environment vars so you don't have to use the "|lpr -P printername"
it's all in the man page. (man mpage).  It can even squeze up to 8 pages on 1
sheet,  but then you need eyes like bob meyer's to be able to read it.. :)
