Hi,
if your working with ascii (test) files you can send it thru a2ps. 
"a2ps -r filename" will send it in landscape mode to the default printer.
The other handy utility is fold.
"fold -s some_file | a2ps -r " will do line returns in whitespace and then 
sends it in landscape as postscript to default printer. This still send thru 
lp, but the utility calls it.
