The job prints but it's not complete. Extending the size limit, as you wrote in your other article, is one way, but I'd prefer to use "lpr -s", which does not copy the print file into the spool, but makes a symlink to your file. Thus you can print even very large files, if you have the printer at the local machine. -- Juergen Nickelsen
