Under properties, on one of the tabs there will be an option to "print directly to the printer" If that is selected, then out of memory could occur, as its normally spooled to a print file on the PC and fed to the Laserjet as it can handle it Select an option to spool it instead. Printers have little in the way of memory, relying on PC spooling.	godfather (25)

The only driver available for it is a PCL one, and the printer has only 1MB (as standard) memory. It doesn't take a very complex page to exceed the printer's memory, and hence the error. Earlier O/Ss could use the 'host driver' where the PC rasterised the print job, and then compress the image before sending it to the printer. So the printer could handle very complex pages with little memory. Either you need to get a memory expansion (prohibitive - JEIDA card), or try setting your print quality to 300dpi.	wuppo (41)
