Since I did not get any answer I arrived with trial and error at the following 
to do the trick, almost:

tr -d '\012' < file.txt | groff -ms | lpr

This finally removes whatever is stubbornly holding the line length to 60 
characters and prints ca. 100 characters on one line. Except it also removes 
the empty lines between paragraphs.

Anyone there who knows how to solve this final obstacle?

 Thanks and regards
