So, I have a Dymo label printer hooked up through a printserver. Because the
Dymo client only recognizes NetBios-styles printer selection, I've created a
print queue on a Unix box (506) which uses Netcat with a minimalist print
script. [Dymo tech support claims that the only p/s they support is the HP
175x, but netcat means never having to say you're sorry. :-)] Wonderful. Then
today, a clueless user sent a regular print job to the label printer (the
client software insists on installing the labelwriter as a Windows printer; I
don't think I can remove it without harming the label process) and ate up a
whole bunch of labels, at 3.5 cents each. Ouch.

So, I'm wondering if there is a quick and dirty way in the interface script to
arbitrarily chop the print job at, say, 5k or so.
