I'm trying to print a large (>1Mb) pdf file (multi-page).
$ lpr foo.pdf
reports that the 'copy file is to large'. The lpr man page says
that 'If you try to spool too large a file, it will be truncated.'
without saying what 'too large' actually is. I checked the docs
and mx=0 is supposed to shut this off but no joy.
Tried building LPRng in pkgsrc, builds fine, same problem.
Printing other, smaller, stuff works fine.
printcap looks like:
lp:\
:cm=Local Deskjet(GhostScript):\
:sd=/var/spool/lj1100:sf:sh:mx=0:\
:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
:if=/usr/pkg/libexec/magicfilter/ljet4l-filter:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
Is there a FAQ or HOWTO on NetBSD printing I've missed?
tks
