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). > My printer is HP DJ670C, tried GS > 5.50 and 5.10 with cdj670 and cdj550 drivers.
