Printing something with really small text?

Question

So I'm making a map in Adobe Illustrator and my canvas is 8.5 X 5.5 in so it's very small.  The text however is even smaller to fit into certain buildings on the map.  My question is will this print out okay?  When I save it I can hardly read any of the words at all the streets and buildings.  But, I'm wondering if it will print out okay on paper.

This is meant for a client and worried about this size issue because I don't want to let him down!

It really depends on your printer. I would test print one page and see and then keep making adjustments. If not, go to a professional printing store and have them PRINT it if it ain't to expensive. Just a suggestion.
