cb has been a looser since I've known it, which is longer than most. It often dumped core, even back in the 70's. It's good in a pinch to turn someone's "far out" indenting style back to K&R normal form.
OTOH gofmt is more of the real deal done right.
My advise is to stick with pr and deal with truncated lines. If you can't deal with truncated lines try landscape mode or messing with fonts and sizes if that's possible. If you have access to another platform enscript has lots of bells and whistles for doing what you want.
It's probably time to move past "lp". They don't exist much anymore in the real world.
