	We do a lot of print spooling of large files(3Mb), and yes there is
a hard coded size limit in lpd which can be overidden with the mx#0 in 
/etc/printcap.

>From man printcap:

mx   num  1000               maximum    file    size     (in
                             BUFSIZ                 blocks),
