Hi,

Solution 1:
Add Courier font, and add it to your gnome-print config.
Solution 2:
Add entry describing Courier font to your gnome-print config, but pointing 
to file you already have installed.
Solution 3:
Get balsa source code and change the font name to one of fonts you have 
installed.
Then recompile :)

I attache a gnome-print.fontmap, which is made against ghostscript fonts 
only. But I added aliases for Courier, Helvetica. So if you have 
ghostscript installed, check path to fonts (the config is for 
/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/) , and put this file in:
/usr/share/gnome/fonts

This is for:
ghostscript-fonts-6.0-2

As the gnome-print config includes font files sizes, it may not work with 
other fonts (I checked and the information about file size and 
modification time is not used by gnome-print, but I may be wrong).

Btw, the fonts used to print (both: for header, and for body) should be 
customizable but they aren't :(
