I think you'd want to make it look right at the original 
font size, as measured on paper when printed on conventional
600 to 120 DPI laser printers.  

If someone wants to print it larger, they're probably doing it 
on purpose to achieve the look of magnified Teletype text.  
There was no other size for real TT fonts, right?  Did they 
ever make printers with larger font sizes?

As for screen fonts, at today's resolutions you wouldn't be
able to reproduce much of the fuzz.
