I'm using the latest Adobe drivers. Some of my users have reported seeing error output like this:
This job requires more memory than is available in this printer [additional verbiage deleted] So far, nobody has been able to reproduce this problem reliably, so I'm just shooting in the dark. The PostScript code for print jobs contains occasional checks of the form "nnnnn VM?" where nnnnn is a number of bytes which the PostScript driver thinks will be needed and VM? is an operator which subtracts the currently used VM (virtual memory) from the maximum available VM, compares it with nnnnn, and prints the error message above if it is not enough. Unfortunately, it's not clear where the maximum available VM figure comes from. It's possible that it has something to do with the "Available PostScript Memory" parameter in the "Printer Settings" tab of the "Printer Properties" dialog box for the print queue. The "Available PostScript Memory" parameter gets automatically modified (presumably in a reasonable fashion) when the "Total Memory" parameter is set. Since the default value for "Total Memory" (4MB for HP printers) is _very_ low compared to our recommended 64MB, it's possible that this setting is responsible for these errors. Another possible reason for lack of memory would be memory leaks in the printers' print engines. Any helpful comments would be appreciated. -Rick -- |Rick Cochran phone: 607-255-7618| |Cornell CIT - Systems & Operations - Net-Print FAX: 607-255-8521| |730 Rhodes Hall, Ithaca, N.Y. 14853 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
