I am using "nowrap" (no dash) I mis-typed it in my post.

I have discovered that if I use -o media=legal and then manually tell the printer I changed paper it prints the full 132 character line without any line wrap.

CUPS seems to be ignoring the cpi setting when calculating where to put the line wrap and the "nowrap" option seems to simply say "don't wrap in the middle of a word"
