built-in printer fonts - how do you access them?

On my trusty old Win 3.1 setup, I could use the built-in printer fonts on my 
Canon BJ-200 by telling WP Win 6.0 (and 6.1) to use the WP printer drivers.

Now I've "up"(??!?)graded to Win95 and Corel WP 7, and there seems to be 
absolutely no way to use those fonts, which print much faster and more 
readably than any TTF fonts. I especially want to use the built-in narrow 
Courier fonts which I need for legacy (but very useful) software all set up 
for that font and page layout.

I just went and got the latest Win95 printer drivers for the BJ-200 from the 
Canon website, and still there's no settings for using built-in fonts. What 
can I do?  Less constructively, whose fault is this loss of features? 
Microsoft or Corel?
