 I have found a way, but it is disgusting and kludgey and
definitely not user-friendly.  You use Terminal's print command
and then hit the Preview button.  You will now see a Preview
of your terminal window in Portrait mode.
 Unfortunately, at this point Preview won't let you change
over to Landscape mode, because of something in the postscript 
generated by Terminal's print generator, apparently.
 So at this point you do a Save-As to what we'll call "term.ps".
Edit "term.ps" and change "%%Orientation: Portrait" to
"Orientation: Landscape".  Then, further down in the document,
change the lines that say
 -3.051758e-05 388.799988 translate
 0.941539 0.941539 scale
to
 100.0 746.0 translate
 1.0 1.0 scale
 -90.0 rotate
I'm not suggesting that this is the only way to accomplish what
you wanted to do, or that it is the best way.  However, its the
only way I could think of, short of using a different terminal
program.  I'm also not sure if the "1.0 1.0 scale" command really
needs to be changed, but as long as you want bigger print, why
not?
 I hope someone finds a better way to do this (before the next
version of the system software comes out!)
