November 7, 2008, Newsletter Issue #215: System Freezes While Printing

Tip of the Week

If you get recurrent freezes or crashes while printing, there may be insufficient memory to run the Print Monitor. Turning on Virtual Memory may help, or increasing the memory allocation of the Print Monitor itself. If you use Adobe Type Manager, try increasing the cache setting in ATM for documents that use a lot of fonts.

On some printers (notably older Epson Inkjets) your printer driver may have been corrupted. Re-install it from the original disks, or, if you´ve had your printer for a while, there may be an upgrade available for your printer driver software. Check the manufacturer´s website ... usually driver upgrades are a free download.
