Large print jobs fail on SCO Unix/System V remote printers

This is a silly artifact from the days when printing was expensive. The "mx" setting in /etc/printcap determines how large a print job can be, and if there is no "mx" then it sets the size very small. Add "mx#0" to have unlimited size. Just stick it in (between :'s) with the other stuff.
