Printing Large Files - Problems

Printing Large Files - Problems

2001-08-16 by Michael J. Kravit

Recently I noticed that if I try to print a large file through the 
Epson driver the image gets truncated and only 2/3 of it is printed. 
It is almost as if the printer just stops printing.

To clarify, I have a 150mb image with a size of 20x20. I resize w/o 
re-sampling to 7x7. The image file size therefore remaims the same. I 
convert to RGB, apply the applicable curve and print. At this point 
because of the RGB conversion the image size grows.

I print to the 7000. The printer prints 3/4 of or 2/3 of the image 
and then stops and ejects the paper.

Has anyone seen this type of behavior? It it a limitation in the 
Epson driver?

Check where the spooling is set on the system, and make certain 
that you've got more than plenty of space on that partition. I have 
seen files truncated where there isn't enough room.
