Gee, all this time I thought it was our server upgrade to NT
from Novell that was causing the problem. Glad to hear that it is
MI5.5. Last night I printed a file that spooled to 960K and came
back this morning with an Out of Memory error on the plotter and half a
print. And forget sending a file that spools over that size,
argh!!
BTW:
HP650C with 44MB RAM (recently increased to 52MB)
NT4 Workstation w/ SP4 - 128MB RAM; 9 GB hard drive
NT4 Server w/ SP4 - 4 9GB hd's
