This ends up being ~1MB. The average size of printer output language for a web page is near 1MB. The default, in my opinion, should be 24 MB or so. >How-To-Repeat: Try sending a large presentation through a default printer config to an HP laserjet. >Fix: Workaround (today) is through configuring "mx#0" (for unlimited print spool file size) or "mx#<blocks>" where <blocks> represents a number in BUFSIZ-sized blocks (1K) >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
