Current CUPS does not support files larger than 2GB.  CUPS 1.2 will
utilize the appropriate 64-bit file APIs, when available, in order
to support files greater than 2GB.

That said, IIRC the current HTTP spec does not support files larger
than 2GB so we may need to "bend the rules" a bit for the CUPS
server, and many network printers do not support print files larger
than 2GB as well.

IPP can only handle file sizes up to 1 terabyte (2^31-1 kbytes), so
that will be the likely limit for the foreseeable future.
