Robert,
      I've set maxsize to 24000 in my .map file  to plot WMS layers  at
600dpi on a 40" wide plot without a problem.

Robert,

To increase the maximum size that MapServer will generate, add the MAXSIZE
keyword to you mapfile (in the MAP section)

eg

MAXSIZE 8000


See more here ( http://mapserver.org/mapfile/map.html )

      Hello all, I am trying to figure out a way I can use Mapserver to
      print out a large image, one that will look good coming off a plotter
      (probably around 300 dpi).

      There is an open ticket (
      http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-55.html) for something
      somewhat related but it offers some good advice on what I am trying
      to do, however the maximum size that Mapserver allows you to request
      is 2048 x 2048, and my current viewport is 757 which scales like: 757
      (old size) * 300 (new resolution that is good for 300 dpi according
      to ticket) / 72 (old resolution) = 3154.1666666666666666666666666667
      which is way to big to request from Mapserver.

      Does anyone have experience with this?

      Thanks!
