Printing - make narrow a wide spooled file?

I have spooled files coming out of a legacy job that are 132 characters
wide at 12 CPI == 11 in.

There's really only 85 characters of data on each row.

Is there any simple way to narrow the spooled file to 102 characters at 12
CPI == 8.5 in.?

I tried copying the spooled file to a database file and then reprinting but
it loses the print formatting such as page breaks which were produced in
the original process.
