You want 132 column mode on your screen or on printed output?  For printed
output, that would normally be a function of the specific printer you
are using, where you would send it a command string (ie, "ESC"+"[2z")
or something equally arcane to tell the printer to go into 132 column mode.
Check your printer reference manual.
