You may use a "fold -s -w width" command in between like in

$ fold -s -w width /home/zt/Desktop/New-Concept-English \
   | lp -t '/home/zt/Desktop/New-Concept-English' \
        -o prettyprint -o media=a4 -o cpi=12 -o lpi=8 \
        -o page-left=60 -o page-right=60

You would need to calculate the right value for width
based on your settings for the lp command, see
