Dear Prodiggers, I am running an Epson 2000P printer off my main workstation Windows XP. Previously it was running of my laptop Windows 2000 pro, but after trying to upgrade the driver on that machine error messages caused me to switch to my main workstation. (On the laptop I tried everything except reformating and starting from scratch.)
I have 1GB memory, 1.6 ghz processor, 10 gig Photoshop scratch on a separate hard drive and 10 gid temp and spool on a separate partition in the same physical drive where C drive has only Windows and program files. Everything works a treat, some images I create are 1.8 gigs 2m x 2m at 200 dpi. (I discovered PS sets the limit to 2gb) Files like this take a little time to save but I have no problems working on them in PSCS. When I come to print anything, whatever size (no, not those big files, its a 2000P), the system takes 85% of available memory and everything else slows down to a crawl. Is there a way I can configure the printer (some spool settings) that would slip that job, or queue of jobs somewhere where my ststem resources are not hogged by the printer?
