Subject: Printed file size limit bogus?

I'm going to dive into the code right after I write this, but
the printcap documentation says that I simply need to set my 'mx'
variable high enough (or zero for no limit) to print large files.
Currently it limits things to around 1 meg.
Normally, that would be a lot of dead trees, but I just got my
new colour printer ... and single pages can involve more than 1 meg
(600x600 dpi x 4 colours). Anyways... I've tried raising the limit,
and it's not working. The default limit on Linux is 10 meg (found
that out as I was printing remotely)... maybe our 1 meg limit should
be raised.
Anyways... anyone run into this problem and solved it?
Dave.
