Well, there isn't a separate preference, but the printing uses the 
revPrintText function which takes the htmlText of the script editor's 
window. So if you go into preferences and change the size of the font 
for the Script Editor's display, this will be reflected in the printed 
output. It would be great if there was a separate preference, though...

Oh, and if you want to *permanently* change ALL text printing coming 
out of Rev to a specific size, you can edit the "revPrintBack" 
backscript, go to the "revPrintText" handler, and scroll down to where 
you see the comment:

  --Body initialization

Locate the "if" block that sets the tabstops, hGrid, etc. which looks 
like this:

  if pSourceFieldRef is not empty then
    set the tabStops of field 1 to the tabStops of pSourceFieldRef
    set the hGrid of field 1 to the hGrid of pSourceFieldRef
    set the vGrid of field 1 to the vGrid of pSourceFieldRef
    set the fixedLineHeight of field 1 to the fixedLineHeight of 
pSourceFieldRef -- NEW
    set the textHeight of field 1 to the effective textHeight of 
pSourceFieldRef -- NEW
    set the textAlign of field 1 to the effective textAlign of 
pSourceFieldRef
  end if

And then add a "set the textSize" line to that block, like this:

  if pSourceFieldRef is not empty then
    set the tabStops of field 1 to the tabStops of pSourceFieldRef
    set the hGrid of field 1 to the hGrid of pSourceFieldRef
    set the vGrid of field 1 to the vGrid of pSourceFieldRef
    set the fixedLineHeight of field 1 to the fixedLineHeight of 
pSourceFieldRef -- NEW
    set the textHeight of field 1 to the effective textHeight of 
pSourceFieldRef -- NEW
    set the textAlign of field 1 to the effective textAlign of 
pSourceFieldRef
    set the textSize of field 1 to 9
  end if
