Wrap text out to lp 1

[razalas]

I have some text files with record lengths up to 512 characters. I want to lp these files to a printer but I want the text to "wrap" at 80 characters. That is, any characters after position 80 should not be truncated, but rather print on the next line.

I'm sure there must be a simple way to do this, but I'm not finding it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
