What exactly do you mean by "rubbish"?
Have you got ``mx#0'' in the printcap entry for you printer? This sets
the maximum file size and setting it to zero means unlimited size.
If the mx entry is missing then the default maximum size is 1000
BUFSIZ blocks which is ~1MB and if your print exceeds this size, data
is lost and the printer starts printing out the data verbatim (as
though it was ASCII text).
