>Description:
We're using a HP LaseJet 5m with JetDirect Interface with low memory.
(The printer's name is avzp02) The printcap entry is
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:lp=:mx#0:rm=avzp02:rp=raw:sd=/var/spool/output/lp8:

When printing a file of more than about one megabyte, only the beginning of
the file is printed and the job stays as unprinted in the queue
lpc reports: no daemon present.
The file is never printed again unless someone sends a new file with
lpr. Then again the first part is printed and so on....

>How-To-Repeat:
just do it :-)
>Fix:
Don't know... send it to a DEC OSF Box first - DEC's lpd has no problems
