"lpr" has 132 hardcoded into it (at least the shipped Berkeley source
does).  

So much for academics and all that object oriented navel gazing.
Either:
	change lpd (if you can)

	note that postscript can accept line breaks between most
	tokens  and use "fold", or "sed" or "awk" to
	intelligently place line breaks. 

	modify the output to split long lines. (most Postscript
	filters will do this automatically).

The key here is that "lpr" has a hardcoded line length.
