The CUPS Manual says:

***
Text Options

The following options apply when printing text files.

Setting the Number of Characters Per Inch

The -o cpi=value option sets the number of characters per inch:

lp -o cpi=10 filename ENTER
lp -o cpi=12 filename ENTER
lpr -o cpi=17 filename ENTER

The default characters per inch is 10.

Maybe this will help. I have not tried it, though.
