Hello all VP users, I have a problem and cannot find the answer from the book so I turn to you. I have Ventura Publisher version 1.1, HP LaserJet II with 2.5 Meg. I create a horoscope page for my magazine so in that page, there are 12 frames for 12 graphics, with additional frames for heading, and text. The printer print only the first 5 graphics frames, each is about 1 in x 1 in It couldn't possibly out of memory!!! I delete everything else except the 12 graphics only frames. Still, the printer print only 5 tiny 1 inch square graphics. I don't think my printer lack memory. I test it by scanning in a picture, load it in VP, zoom it to fill the whole page. It print out ok. I appreciate any answer you have for me. A frustrated desktop publisher, Nhan Tran email: peora!tran or tran@peora.ccur.com

You can get VP to print more with a postscript printer. Anyway, look in the HP books rather than in the VP books. I don't think the amount of memory affects the number of graphics the HPLJ II will handle. Sorry, I think you're SOL on this one.

The LaserJet uses slightly under 1 megabyte for a full page of
300x300 dpi graphics. Unless you've loaded up the memory with large
numbers of soft fonts, I can't think of any reason why you shouldn't
be able to do any form of graphics with 2.5 Mb of memory.
