Check the manpage,
$ man printcap
PRINTCAP(5) FreeBSD File Formats Manual PRINTCAP(5)
NAME
printcap - printer capability data base
[...]
CAPABILITIES
Refer to termcap(5) for a description of the file layout.
Name Type Default Description
[...]
mx num 1000 maximum file size (in BUFSIZ
blocks), zero = unlimited
I think that's what you need to change anyway. Try this:
lp|Operations printer:\
:sh:mx#0:\
:rm=ops-print.pfmc.net:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
:if=/usr/local/libexec/hpif:
(note that's mx#0, not mx=0. This caught me at first :-)
