The important thing would be to find out in what situation the printing fails?

* Is it related to big rasters?
* Are WMS used?
* Is it failing on all printer or only certain printers?
* Is the printer failing (some printers rund out of memory if you send big files) or is QGIS failing?

There are so many unknowns that it is kind of hard to find out where exactly the printing fails.

I do not print large formats too often, but I don't remember having problems often. We print with an old HP Designjet.

Unfortunately, in many Public Administrations here in Italy, the upgrade cycle for hardware is not so fast, so for several years we expect to
have still 32 bits (or 64 bit installed with 32 bit win).
In any case, I guess a 64 bit win build is not yet available, right? So, in short, it would be good to have an idea wheter it is possible to
find a solution also for 32's.
Marco, any idea?
Thanks.

I can confirm this situation. Many corporate machines are still running 32 bit operating system (Windows XP) because they must guarantee compatibility
with certain old software.

It's not a good excuse to say "go to 64 bit!" because for years ArcMap was able to print very large and complex (A0 format and beyond) maps on PC with
only 2GB of RAM.


The print problems on Win32 are a major drawback here as large format
plans are needed.
Just to illustrate what Luca wrote: We are a city administration
running around 1200 PCs with some 500+ applications on WinXP. Hardware
is less a problem (almost all machines will be 64 bit next year) than
to ensure compatibility of _all_ applications with Win64. This needs
intense testing and negotiations with software companies and thus -
time.
