What's wrong:
It sent the file to the printer anyway. An error message like
"copy file is too large" would make one think that the job was aborted
and it wasn't.
I did an lprm of my print job as soon as I realized this and I got
charged for 205 pages.
What should have happened:
The file should not have made it to the printer.
