I now have in GVIM the following window open.
{
option-window (~) - GVIM1
}

Of which, section 11 says the following.

{
11 printing

printoptions	list of items that control the format of :hardcopy output
  	set popt=paper:a4
printdevice	name of the printer to be used for :hardcopy
  	set pdev=
printexpr	expression used to print the PostScript file for :hardcopy
  	set pexpr=system('lpr'\ .\ (&printdevice\ ==\ ''\ ?\ ''\ :\ '\ -P'\ 
.\ &printdevice)\ .\ '\ '\ .\ v:fname_in)\ .\ delete(v:fname_in)\ +\ 
v:shell_error
printfont	name of the font to be used for :hardcopy
  	set pfn=courier
