Jerry,
0SX runs with 1.5 gig, 75% is alloted to PS, that is 1039 MB.
I have 4 scratch discs for PS, each has about 2 gig space.
So the question is, where does the print monitor spool the file
(only in the memory, on the PS scratch discs or on the genuine 
OSX home-disc ? - Even the latter has about 30 gig free space.)
(i´m talking about printing files larger than 100 MB, so to speak 
250 MB or so.)
Thanks Bernd
PS the same file will print from OS 9.2 without any breaks on the 
same printer.
