A friend of mine recently bought a Laserjet IIP with 1/2 meg of memory. He has been trying to print graphs using version 3 of Lotus 1-2-3. His copy of 1-2-3 does not have a specific driver for the IIP so he is using the one labeled "laserjet series II without cartridge" or something close to that name. Anyway, his problem is that the machine is printing half the graph on one page and half on another. He says that it prints the whole image on one page when he uses draft mode. Anyone know why this might be? The Lotus service person seemed to think it might be an insufficient amount of memory. RF Richard T. Ferris ferris@eniac.seas.upenn.edu University of Pennsylvania

I suspect an extra meg of memory will suffice to solve the problem.

That's exactly what happened. 1/2 Meg is not enough to print an entire page of graphics in the HP's hi-res mode. That's why he gets 2 pages.....the 1st page is up until where he ran out of memory & the 2d page is the rest.
There are two options:
1. Use Medium of Low Resolution (150 dpi or 75 dpi)
2. By more memory.

You will need at least 1 Meg of memory to print a full 300 dpi page of graphics. You'll need more if you plan to use several downloadable fonts in addition to the graphics. BTW, this is true for all programs, not just 1-2-3, that you want to print graphics from to a laserjet.
