text printing wrapping after 83 characters - RHEL v5.4 - laser printer - postscript drivers

I'm trying to print text lines with 132 characters of data.

When I change the CPI to greater than 10, the wrap still occurs at 83 characters.  Increasing the margins reduces the characters per line proportionately.

Looks like the CPI scaling occurs after the wrapping function.

Have tried using wrap=false and nowrap=true with no change in the results.

Problem also occurs on Konica-Minolta printers so I suspect the issue is with CUPS on RHEL.

Any suggestions of where to look next?
