According to testing of smbclient print commands against several OS/2 systems (conducted through irc://irc.freenode.net/#samba-os2), larger jobs will be broken in at an (erroneous) upper size limit of 73 to 126kB (the precise figure is apparently machine-dependent).

If one is lucky, the printer will recognize and discard the larger jobs as incomplete (rather than wasting paper on them).

As the OS/2 printer queue may be advised to hold rather than print incoming jobs, these can be copied back from D:\SPOOL\MyPSprtr\*.SPL and compared against the original jobs e.g. using diff (-u) to reproduce the effects of this bug (which is presumably located within Samba).
