Bug description: Printer error after several pages print
I print various letters and various forms every day using PHP. However,
when I want to print a mass mailing of 200 letters to different people,
php will error out after printing approximately 20 pages. It seems that
the amount of pages that print is directly proportionate to the amount of
fill (verbage) placed on a page.
Warning: couldn't start a new page in C:\apache\htdocs\print\print_td.php
on line 20

Below is a snip-it of just printing out a heading over and over again
which seems to error the same way as my letters do....
I tried printing to a Novell que, and directly to an LPT1 and get the same
results.
