I was playing around some more and sent a large, but not too large image to my printer. The file size was 9 MB, my printer handled this by scaling it down internally to its 1 MB internal print buffer. I guess there is just a threshold of what my printer can take before it becomes overwhelmed by file size.
On the other hand, software like Adobe PhotoShop Elements does scale the print file size down to 80 KB to the printer. Of course they've probably written in C or C++, but it's clear to me their software is doing the right thing. In Java, the right think cannot be done by methods (a) or (b).
Cheers, Eric
