Is it physically jamming? Or is it messing up the output because it's
getting too much data at once?

If it's getting too much data, you have a communications issue. How is the
printer connected? What kind of printer (HP LJ4000, etc...)?

Subject: [SLUG] automatically breaking up large print jobs

I have a laser printer hooked up to my Linux print server (fedora core 4),
and unfortunately whenever I send a large print job (more then 4
pages) to the printer it jams up. I am looking for a way to have my print
server (I'm using cups), to automatically print 3-4 pages, pause for a
minute, print another 3-4 pages, pause a minute, and keep going in that
manner till the print job is over. Anybody have any ideas?
