I tried to print obdusman_15032010.pdf on the HP LaserJet 3390 (this MF
device has the printing engine of the LaserJet 13xx printers) in
PostScript mode. The processing in my computer was reasonably fast (I
did not succeed to run "ps auxwww | grep PID" in time after getting the
PID via "top"). The file did not get printed with the printer telling
"memory low" on its display.
If I use the "pxlmono" driver, 1200 dpi, and duplex I get only the first
page and on the second, the printer runs out of memory. With 600 dpi all
pages get printed with some seconds of delay between pages. In the
PostScript mode I can print the document also with 600 dpi, but
"pxlmono" is somewhat faster. Printing in PCL 5e ("ljet4d", "hpijs",
"hpcups", 600 dpi only) is even faster, after a shoprt delay in the
beginning all pages (8 pages on 4 sheets double-sided) come out one
after the other.
So it seems the most efficient solution to overcome memory problems of
printers is reducing the resolution from 1200 dpi to 600 dpi. In
addition moving from PostScript to PCL helps.
cosmix, note that your problem is a different one and that we therefor
need your files, error_log, and to/ps output.
