Probably your disk space available to the line printer spooler is to
small. Typically the path to the spool directories is /var/spool/lpd.
Check the available space with `df -k /var/spool/lpd'. In any case, you
can print the file with `lpr -P<ps-printer> -s dis_sm0.ps'. The `-s'
avoids copying of the file to the spool directory.
