In 6.10 and prior you cannot programmatically which is a pain. You may
have to resort to using the forms method of printing and get your hands
dirty writing printer control language code.
 
In 6.11 (windows) check out the -SYSPRINTFONT option as documented on
page 66 of the Microsoft Windows Environmanet: Changes & Enhancements
to the SAS System
