Well, let me apologize for even posting that question.  I got it to 
produce smaller output by asking for a font-size of 6pt.  So it is 
recognizing the css for the printer after all -- it's just that the 12-
point font my printer produces is rather bigger than what I'm used to 
calling twelve-point.

I get about 54 lines to the page, measured top edge to bottom edge of an 
standard 11-inch page.  With 72 = 6x12 points to the inch, I'd expect to 
get 6 lines to the inch, giving me 66 lines altogether.  I suspect I'm 
ignoring details like the space between lines.

Evidently I could still learn a few things about typography.  Can anyone 
suggest a good online reference?
