HP 8150 and large files

In Digital Unix, when I try to print a large file (more than 8 Megabytes) by the "lpr" command, I get the error message:
"copy file is too large".
What should I do to print these files?

Thanks

Re: HP 8150 and large files

I get that error when I try to print on a HP 8150 printer. When I try to print the same file on a Digital LN40 printer, its's OK. What do you think about that?

Mostly windows users here...

Does this error show up on the printer screen (I doubt it)or in lpq?

Re: HP 8150 and large files

In Unix. This is the command and the error message:
# lpr -PCDT-M-15 ~nyseb/xmarrcpt.lis.157019
lpr: /usr/users/syst/nyseb/xmarrcpt.lis.157019: copy file is too large

That helps. I suggest you ask your question in the HP Unix forums here.

Re: HP 8150 and large files

it must be your unix configuration problem. you can take the file and FTP it to the printer IP address - you'll see that it works fine. Check the JD firmware version, it may need to be upgraded

good luck

On my "EIO1 Jetdirect Page", I read:
model number: J4169A
version: L.022.09
Does the firmware need to be upgraded?

When I take the file and FTP it to the printer IP address, it works fine. But we'd like to have a solution by "lpr".
