* I have a large (> 1 Meg.) postscript file that I would like to

* prints out 52 of 58. Is there an easy (or otherwise) way of

* smaller-sized files?
lpr has a preset limit of around 1 Megabyte on the size of a file that
it will spool. You can make this unlimited by setting the mx#0 field
in your /etc/printcap file.
