I photographed each window from one storey of a skyscraper in Tokyo. Then I assembled it into a wide poster 160cm (62") x 30cm (11.8") 270MB file. Next I spent one hour installing updated drivers for my Epson Stylus 2100 printer that would handle the semigloss paper used on my roll sheet-feeder printer accessory. The idea was to print out a nice panoramic photograph.
Photoshop 7 was acting shaky in print preview mode, which I eventually gave up on. Just set things in page setup, and hit, directly, print. Allow the Epson preview program to show you the display.
It didn’t work anyway. The output just showed an end-part of the image printed on the top of the paper, leaving the rest blank. I carefully checked the settings to figure out why it might have broken, but I couldn’t find anything. Eventually I found online discussions that printing large panoramics using the roll feeder and Epson 2100 inside Photoshop 7 does not work. Then someone mentioned that Paint Shop Pro didn’t have the same problem when printing, so I’d try that. But hopes were challenged again when another long thread suggests the Epson 2100 driver simply doesn’t allow panoramic banner printing more than 44". WTF?
Anyway, it was moot, because Paint Shop Pro couldn’t even load the 272MB .psd file. It keeps saying: "Not enough memory to complete this operation; close one or more documents or applications and try again. If this does no correct the problem you may need to adjust your memory settings or work on a smaller document."
Well hell, I closed everything else, I have a GB of memory in the pc and I increased the paging files to 3048MB. Shouldn’t that much memory be sufficient to open this stupid file? Or is the problem Paint Shop Pro turns a 270MB .psd into a 5GB .tiff or someting moronic ?
So now in Photoshop I converted the .psd to a tiff. Paint Shit Pro could open that ok. But then when I tried to print it, I again got the same insufficient memory failure.
Any other tricks or suggestions to force this pig to work?
