Default How can I set the font used for Notepad's Print command

What do I have to do on a system running
Windows 98 Second Edition to get Notepad's
print command to use the font that I want?

He is what is happening now:

System 1 - running Windows 98 Second Edition
has the Hewlett-Packard Deskjet 682C
serves the printer for the other 2 machines
Print from Notepad gets:
header and footer the size and font I want
body in a different font, smaller than I want

System 2 - running Windows 98 Second Edition
Print from Notepad gets:
header and footer the size and font I want
body in a different font, bigger than I want

System 3 - running Windows XP Professional
Print from Notepad gets:
size and font that I want.

How can I change the font and size used for the body
when I use Notepad's print command on each machine?

How can I change the font and size used for the header
and footer when I use Notepad's print command on each machine?

Wordpad from System 2 gets the font and size that I want,
but that may be luck. I haven't been able to try on Systems 1 and 3.

I didn't see anything obvious using right click Properties
in the Start | Settings | Printer window.

Does some setting in Internet Explorer or the desktop Properties
Appearance tab control things?

This doesn't make sense - Notepad doesn't support headers
and footers.

If you can identify how you are getting Notepad to handle
headers and footers you may be able to work out what is
causing the pritner to change font size.

Wordpad will give you much better control over the font
than Notepad will.

If you can identify how you are getting Notepad to handle

File
Page Setup...
allows you to set Paper, Orientation, Header, Footer, and
Printer. A bunch of printer options are available, depending
on the printer, not not the default font (with my printers,
at least.)

Wordpad will give you much better control over the font
than Notepad will.

But does a bunch of other things differently than what I want.

This might be because Notepad on Windows XP has
Format
Font...
which I may have used a couple of years ago to set things
the way I wanted, but doesn't explain why the two Windows 98 Second
Edition systems get the files printed differently.
