Hi folks,
I get a runtime error message when sending large rgb files (650MB) to an epson 9000 pro printer which is connected via ethernet. When I resized the file (same dimensions) to 25 MB the problem disappeared. Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Thx Bernard

Another possibility is you are running out of spool space, though this is less likely. You may reconfigure the printer to spool onto a larger drive, or print directly, without spooling.

I didn’t know it was possible to change the drive for print spooling. I’m using WinXP; how do you do this?

It’s a registry hach. On my Win2k system the folder name is in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers

For more detailed info start looking here:

But turning off spooling is probably the preferred method for printing very large images, since your system will not be much good for anything else until the job is done anyway. It’s also a good idea if you are printing to a server, which will is normally set up to spool the job on its own hard drive. This is done via a radio button under Start>Settings>Printers>. On my Win 2K system, select printer properties, click the Advanced tab, and then on the radio button specifying "Print directly to the printer".

Bit of trivia: SPOOL is an acronym meaning "simultaneous peripheral operation on line. You heard it here first 🙂

Thank you Mike and Tim for your comments. The problem disappeared because I saved the file to another disk.
Regards
