Subject: Screensnap 2.2 memory problems?

I occasionally need to print (not just capture to the clipboard or a
file) a portion of a large 8-bit color screen (E-Machines T-19).  I
was considering Capture (apparently can't print directly), Exposure
(seems rather complicated for some of the occasional users who would
need to use it), and Snapjot (seemed like the best "fit" of the
commercial packages I found).

Then Screensnap 2.2 appeared on the net.  It seems to do all we need,
and works fine with images that are small enough.  Unfortunately,
there is a size beyond which it simply will not capture an image, even
when it's application size is bumped up to over 3M.  Now, since a
full-screen image should take less than 1M (1024x768x8), I'm a little
confused about why it continues to complain about insufficient memory.
Any ideas?
