I'm looking for a way to manipulate the *limit*
of 1000 on the number of entries in lpd's queue.

We run a SPARCprinter from a SPARCstation running
SunOS 4.1.1, and at times the queue will exceed
999 print jobs causing the *odometer* to roll
over, clobbering the earlier low-numbered entry.

So far, have been unable to find a variable to
use to raise this number.  Any knowledge of how
this limit is set or work-around would help us
 greatly.  Thanks in advance for e-mail or posting.
