manfredi Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hello, I've encounterd recently the following problem: every time I try to batch print on my epson printer, the printer hangs. Since I have previously been able to batch print, and I haven't changed neither the computer or the printer, is it a bug with VW12.5etc or with the Apple gimp driver? has anyone else encountere similar problems? thanks Quote Link to comment
Travis Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 This might be better posted in the Printing area. But I'll have a go. We use Epson extensively and strongly prefer their drivers over the Gimp drivers shipped w/Apple's OS. You can download the latest/greatest directly from Epson's website. The only time I can remember our printers "hanging" the problem turned out to be memory. You're potentially creating a pretty big memory hog with a batched job, especially if it contains a number of fonts/hatches/patterns and color. We use a MacMini (CoreDuo) with 1.5g of memory as our print server. It works flawlessly. Good luck, Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 How large is the VW file? How many pages are you including in the batch print set? How much memory do you have on the plotter/printer ? What is the printer model? Quote Link to comment
manfredi Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 the file is about 6.4Mb, I'm trying to print 12 sheets and the printer model is an epson stylus photo 1290 Quote Link to comment
