Greetings again Thanks everyone for the suggestions. It seems that many people have had this problem. Here are the suggestions. 1)In the printer's property under advanced tab check the "in computer" box. 2) In the printer's property under detail tab and then the spool settings button check the "Print directly to printer" option. 3) Buy RIP software - Postershop, ArcPress, EFI (www.efi.com). Here is what I ended up doing: 1)From Arcview make a separate export JPEG file for each of the 5 views that I want on the layout. Each view used a 29 mb JPEG georeferenced aerial photo. This step created 5 JPEG files of about 200 to 300 kb. 2)Design my layout using 10 JPEG files of about 200 to 300 kb each. 3) Check the "in computer" box in printer settings from within Arcview. (I have not yet tried the "Print directly to printer" option.) 4) Print to file. I tried printing directly to the plotter, but received a system error writing to lpt3 after 25% of the layout was sent to the plotter. When I used "in computer" the resulting file was 17 mb file while using "in printer" resulted in a 44 mb file. 5) Then I exited Arcview and used a free shareware program called PrintFile ( http://www.lerup.com/printfile ) to send the .prt file to the HP plotter. I just found this program yesterday, but for the life of me I can't remember how I found it. Download it for free and during the installation process, I selected all the file types it will print. 6)When using this program, I again went into properties to check the "in computer" button, just to make sure. Plotting using the "in computer" option took less time than the "in printer" option. When I have more time, I will consider getting ArcPress. Thanks again. Original question With Arcview3.2 and HP DesignJet 750C plottoer, I am making a large plot (34 x 44) using 10 image jpeg files that are about 200 to 300 KB in size. The plotter has 75 MB RAM, which is the maximum for this machine. When I go to print my layout, I run out of memory on the plotter and only part of the layout is printed. Then I reduced the number of to a point where I didn't get the out of memory problem. But, I would really like to print all ten on one 34x44 plot. Is there a way to overcome this memory limit at little or no cost? Tim Krohn GIS Specialist Fond du Lac Reservation 1720 Big Lake Rd Cloquet, MN 55720 218-878-8028
