It is nothing to do with the C language, if you can write to the printer then you will need to know the specific commands you need to send in order to use those different fonts.

If you happen to be using Windows then you have gone about things the wrong way (probably). In Windows once you have a device context for the printer you can then draw to it in pretty much any font you wish.

I am sure Linux probably has a standard way of writing to the printer too but I have no idea what it may be.

In Linux you may open the device (since devices are seen as files to Linux) and output to that "file". Of course this is valid for plain-text.
