Pinting a file on Solaris 8 that wraps around.
Can someone please explain how I can print a file and get the text to wrap around instead of truncating the line and missing the rest of the text? There are a few reports that were generated and I am trying to print them but after wasting 200 sheets of paper I realized that the lines were truncated.

Thanks
