My printer will not print large files(over 1-megabyte), I keep getting "file to big" errors. What do I do?

	keep getting "file to big" errors. What do I do?

	Put the following line in your /etc/printcap file
	for the printer that has the problem.

	:mx#0:

	This basically allows for unlimited sizes of print jobs.
	Of course you are still limited by your amount of
	spool space.

	If you do not have access to /etc/printcap you can
	use the -s switch to lpr to use a "symlink" of the	
	file instead of copying the "real" file to the spool 
	directory.
