What decides the fonts available for printers?
The printer server you're using, probably. For example, ghostscript-based printer servers use /etc/gs/Fontmap or (more likely) a file called Fontmap in whatever else is on the "Search path" output of the "gs -h" command.
I would imagine that CUPS has some pretty web frontend and xprint uses the same setup as your display, but I could be wrong. My current printer setup is a script called lpr which pipes a file through gs to /dev/lp in the background - seemed like the simplest thing that could possibly work.
