PMView Pro Forums _ PMView - OS/2 Technical Support _ Big image print...

Posted by: zakiso Aug 28 2002, 05:30 AM

I have Epson Stylus CX60, and really I can't print image, which is greater than ~6000*4000 (smaller can be printed in all cases, sometimes it's possible to get something like ~4400*6600, but not more).

When i say "print" - I get "clock", and after ~5 seconds clock is "off", but no information in printer queue. If smaller image printed (and all is OK) - printing process goes some minutes, not seconds.

No error message displayed, just nothing is printed :-(

Any ideas? (OS/2 ACP2, 512MB memory)

Have you enabled OS/2 HMS (High Memory Support) ?

You mean VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT=3072?
Yes, it's setting from my config.sys.

It sounds like this is a limitation caused by how the Epson driver is implemented. For instance, I believe that this problem would surface in case the driver for some reason is using a native OS/2 bitmap to hold the print data. (The size of an OS/2 bitmap is limited, so this is a likely reason).
