A suggestion for the future - put a RTVCFGSRC into your backup routine
and it will create/update a source member with all the commands to recreate
your configuration (it does not include what is inside a wcst) of devices,
controllers,
lines, & more.

I suspect you are not using the workstation customizing object that was
being used on the old device.

Check some other printer DEVD or
WRKOBJ OBJ(*ALLUSR) OBJTYPE(*WSCST) to see if something makes sense.

Most of our HP printer font problems being too small have been fixed
using the customized objects with the following changes:

    :CPICOR
      CPI=10
/*    ASCIIFNT=  255            ORIG ONE */
      ASCIIFNT=  204
/*    FNTWTH=   84              ORIG ONE */
      FNTWTH=   110
      FNTATR=    1
      DATA =''X.
    :CPICOR
      CPI=12
/*    ASCIIFNT=  255            ORIG ONE */
      ASCIIFNT=  222
/*    FNTWTH=   84              ORIG ONE */
      FNTWTH=   96
      FNTATR=    1
      DATA =''X.
    :CPICOR
      CPI=15
      ASCIIFNT=  281
/***  FNTWTH=   84                  ORIG ONE ***/
      FNTWTH=   72
      FNTATR=    1
      DATA =''X.

Any chance of a workstation customizing object?  I get
complaints from
my laser printer users that everything is too small, so
I remove the
customizing object and show them what small really is :)
