I have pretty much the same setup. Well, the CPU side is the same,
but the printer's a Stylus 740. If you print documents of this size,
you're probably talking about images. How do you convert the image?
If you're using filters, let's see them. Also, you don't have a file
size limit in /etc/printcap, do you?
