We are facing a problem while printing from Mac to Windows XP using LPD
service.

Windows is getting the print job control file and removing immediately. We
trace the problem and found the reason. Mac is sending 1TeraByte as Spool job
length.

Can we get any patch to solve the problem in windows xp LPD service?
Is there any solution to solve this problem?

Any pointers are appreciated.

While I was developing an lpr client I used the Windows LPD service to
test against and found it wasn't very forgiving, quite a good thing in
my opinion! Maybe you need to look for a fix on the mac as it seems this
is where your real problem is.

Alternatively you could use some 3rd party LPD software such as RPM at
