Javier > Make sure that you have the latest printer driver available (check HP web site). <
This model is avalaible since only a few months, and the driver is up to date. And I don't think this could be a driver's problem : DOS printing is not supposed to use any driver. I just send char. to LPT1 port. But this gave me some ideas : I'll check BIOS config, and trry to disable bidirectionnal com. > Also, the size of the print file and the printer memory are not really related; the report is probably plain text (with printer codes) that the computer converts to send to the printer, in turn the printer converts the data stream into something its internal printing processor understands which is considerably larger that the file size. I have 2 meg graph files that when sent to the printer require over 128 MB of printer memory; this is why many drivers will give you the option to do the conversion in the computer (instead of the printer) which slows down the process and ties up computer resources but does away with the printer memory errors. The Windows printer monitor should show you the size of the file as it is sent to the printer. < Thanks for this explanation. J.M. GRATIAS, Logimatique
