You might try the usual *nix approach of combining utilities to achieve
the goal. For example:
pr -l 60 -o3 -h "" ascii.txt | lpr
(or something like that to achieve your desired margin).
FYI, back in the olden days when Unix was being written it was "sold"
to AT&T management as a text processing system, so it is full of great
little programs like pr, fmt, fold, etc. Most of these have been
re-written as free software by the FSF folks as the GNU Text Utilities.
Once you figure them out, they are _very_ handy tools.
