In its discussion of the "mx" capability for printers listed in
/etc/printcap, the Handbook section on Advanced Printing fails to
mention the default value for mx (which is mentioned in printcap(5) by
the way). The patch below adds a little comment detailing the default
value so to not stump newbies.
>How-To-Repeat:
Be a newbie at configuring printing and wonder why print jobs over
1000K get truncated. Or just be confused.
