I'm not sure even "gobs of RAM" can hold all 152 pages, assuming that CUPS even knows how to handle the extra RAM in your printer. You will probably have to hand-collate, I'm sorry to say. You may be able to use evince, acroread or pdftk + pdf2ps/pdftops (they all produce different output) to batch up, say, 10 or 30 pages of postscript at a time and then hand-collate from there. As for making a smaller PDF for online reading or presentations, ps2pdf lets you choose the image resolution, if I remember correctly. Good luck!
