ps and printing

I sure do find this thread useful.

I have written my first powershell script and want to send it's output
nightly to our laser printer. Everything seems to be working fine, except
that my secretary complains that the (default) font is too small to read.
Now, I'm not sure I've ever installed/deleted/selected or unselected any
font. So, my question....how can I specify which font or font size I would
like to be printed at run time. I've looked for an answer now for several
weeks (out-printer doesn't seem to have anything to help) and just can't
seem to find anyone talking about printers and fonts. Any help...gulp...
My application queries an sql db and prepares a unicode report nightly,
(text), which presently, I'm simply piping to the printer using
'out-printer'

No way that i can see to get powershell to change the font size before
sending it to out-printer. What I would suggest is sending the output
to a text file, then opening it with word, changing the size, then
printing it. IE

#Generate a file
Get-Help Get-WmiObject -Full | Out-File -Encoding 'Unicode' -FilePath
'C:\test.txt'
Create a Word App
$w=New-Object -ComObject Word.Application
#Load your file
$w.Documents.Add('C:\test.txt') > $null
#If you don't pipe it to null it spits out lots of useless information
#Change Font Size
$w.ActiveDocument.Content.Font.Size = 20
#Send To Default Printer
$w.PrintOut()
#Close File Discarding Changes
$w.ActiveDocument.Close(0)
#Close Word
$w.quit()

Not ideal but hopefully its a workaround until someone smarter than I
can help out.
