Thanks to all, who respond to my question.

The original question was:

>hello sun-managers,

>i have a problem in printing large postscript-files.
>
>the first try was to use the lpr as usual.
>the result was: 'lpr: output.ps: copy file is too large'
>
>the second try was tu use the lpr with -s option.
>result: after a few seconds i received a mail with the content:
> Your printer job
> was not printed because it was not linked to the original file
>
> finished with status 4

Nearly everyone replied is saying, that I have to insert mx#0 in the printcap file, both
on the print server and on the sending machine.

That was my failure, since I used mx=0 until now.

The answer to second question is, that -s option can only be used on the
print server. And that is in our case not possible.
