On an Epson with a wide carriage, it will generate output 11 wide by up to 45 inches long, as a single postscript "page". The printer prints until the entire page has been output, then does a form feed and stops. - Geof

Or 12 times that in low resolution mode. Of course this would require configuring additional swap space, and I don't even want to think about how long it would take to run.
