lp option for word wrapping

[Stuart Powell]

I want to print out a shell script to an HP 4000 laserjet. Some of the lines are longer than 80 characters. It seems to me there is an option to word wrap the print out, but I can't remember it.
Does anybody remember it?

Stuart,

I don't see any option like that in lp and I wondered if maybe pr might help (though I really have no idea). Try "pr FILENAME |lp" and see if that helps.

Hi Stuart,

you can try "-o eolwrap"

Hope this helps.

Hi,

you can also try,

/usr/bin/fold -w 80 file_name |lp

Hope this helps.
