Printshop cards are *always* a full page of bit mapped graphics.
On an HP LaserJet of *any* variety that is more that 1/2 meg
even at 75dpi (the lowest resolution).

To do *any kind of full page graphics on an HP LaserJet you want
at least a meg and 2 megs would be better
8.5x11 @ 300 dpi can easily exceed a meg.
