I would add more memory to your printer.

Re: HP8150 printer and large files
This is either printer memory or disc.
Try cat file|lp -dprinter
This doe snot copy the file but sends it straight to the printer.

Re: HP8150 printer and large files
With it being a lazer printer it loads each page into memory before it can print.
This, in the case of large single page file can cause printer memory problems.

Re: HP8150 printer and large files
Indeed the printer memory
The only other way would be to print it in pieces.
needs place on /tmp/ or so to hold the split file
Script along these lines
file=$1
let length=`cat $file|wc -l`
let start=1
let x=0
q=""
while [ "$start" -le "$length" ]
do
let x=$x+1
tail -n +$start $file|head -n 60 > /tmp/printfax$x
let start=$start+60
q=$q" "/tmp/printfax$x
done
lp -dprinter $q
/bin/rm /tmp/printfax*

Re: HP8150 printer and large files
Thanks, Paula and Steve.
I think that the method of printing in pieces is very interesting but it can't work in my case. The file I want to print is a Postscript file; so, if I cut this file anywhere (in the middle of the Postcript Prolog, etc.), I should probably have Postscript errors. Don't you think so?

Re: HP8150 printer and large files
Cutting a ps file is not just a matter of cutting as each segment will have to be complete in PS terms.
