Check with your local administrative staff that the mx# parameter
in /etc/printcap files is correct. No mx# means mx#1, i.e.
files are limited to 1 MByte. Use mx#0 to set unlimited limit.

Of course, with no limits, you can after overflow the disk space
for the spool. And using 'lpr -s' is a good idea against this
trouble.
