Try using:
	pr -t -w80 file | lp

Look at the man page for pr in section 1 of the runtime system
documentation.  Pr will do quite a bit of formatting for you; it is
especially good for printing source files with headers and line
numbers.

You might also want to see if your printer can do 12cpi (96-wide) or
16cpi (136-wide) printing; the 12cpi is quite often more readable on a
dot matrix printer.
