PostScript Printing

[ashes jingles]

I have a PostScript data which amounts to 1.16 MB and when I try printing it on my HP LaserJet 6MP printer containing 3MB of memory, I get ans error from the printer sayinbg that there is not enough memory to print the document. What can be the reason for this?? I assume that it should print when the data is less than the printer memory. ANy help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

All installed fonts and the virtual memory you need to render the PostScript data share the 6 MB memory. Depending on the data your virtual memory fills up (which causes the error message) and you can't print the data. If you have control over the data you can try to generate the data in a way that if frees memory on a page basis. Look up the Postscript Redbook and read the section about memorymanagement.
If you don't generate the data yourself you either need to get more memory, try another printer or use a software like Ghostscript to render the data on your computer and print it a page at one time.

Hope this helps
