Digital BW, The Print

Hi Dennis,

Sounds like your latest set of issues could be disk or memory related rather
than hardware necessarily. Have you checked your available disk recently? I
only ask because on Windows (don't know Mac!) it has this flaky habit of not
spooling very well if you are low on disk, and in particular, not telling
you what's wrong (which it ought to be able to do!) Indeed, when it does go
wrong, it can show part-finished prints etc.

Best,
Nij
