Have you tried to customise a bit? The Ps Print group contains the  
Font group, in which you can add more entries to the Ps Font Info  
Database. Then you can select from this new set.

This will have one problem: no non-built-in font will be downloaded  
to the PostScript printer. This might make it necessary to use an  
external utility to actually create the PS output.

And there is one more problem: it's not necessarily a PostScript font  
that you want to use for printing ...

Have you tried to look up what's behind that function? I found: Print  
buffer contents without pagination or page headers ... So it's up to  
your system's setup how text gets printed.
