printing signs from command line environment

When printing something like a sign, it's helpful to print in a larger font than 8 point type. Do any command line tools exist to adjust the font upward on a text file say created with emacs and save that so when the file gets printed, the printing will come out at a larger size specified by the user? I'd prefer not to mess around in gnome or at least have a means to do this with the command line when gnome accessibility goes away temporarily because of updates in the future. The dot matrix printer I have I can't get working even with very competent sighted assistance yet. It's a panasonic KXP-1123 and though we got the ppd file installed for it from linuxprinting.org all the printer prints out is dollar signs and question marks and long lines. This was a new never used printer out of the box recently I can get replaced easily enough but don't know if there's a firmware update it needs. It would be quicker to do firmware update for it than replace it if such is the case.
