The function does exist, but it is not interactive (hence M-x doesn't
work). See C-h f custom-set-faces

You might also want to look at ps-print.el (it should be in the lisp
directory). If so there is plenty in that file to read.

| ;; About ps-print
| ;; --------------
| ;;
| ;; This package provides printing of Emacs buffers on PostScript
| ;; printers; the buffer's bold and italic text attributes are
| ;; preserved in the printer output. ps-print is intended for use
| ;; with Emacs or Lucid Emacs, together with a fontifying package
| ;; such as font-lock or hilit.
| ;;
| ;; ps-print uses the same face attributes defined through font-lock
| ;; or hilit to print a PostScript file, but some faces are better
| ;; seeing on the screen than on paper, specially when you have a
| ;; black/white PostScript printer.
| ;;
| ;; ps-print allows a remap of face to another one that it is better
| ;; to print, for example, the face font-lock-comment-face (if you
| ;; are using font-lock) could have bold or italic attribute when
| ;; printing, besides foreground color. This remap improves printing
| ;; look (see How Ps-Print Maps Faces).

|
| ;; How Ps-Print Deals With Color
| ;; -----------------------------
| ;;
| ;; ps-print detects faces with foreground and background colors
| ;; defined and embeds color information in the PostScript image. The
| ;; default foreground and background colors are defined by the
| ;; variables `ps-default-fg' and `ps-default-bg'.
| ;; On black/white printers, colors are displayed in gray scale. To
| ;; turn off color output, set `ps-print-color-p' to nil. You can
| ;; also set `ps-print-color-p' to 'black-white to have a better
| ;; looking on black/white printers. See also `ps-black-white-faces'
| ;; for documentation.
