Hi!

I'm using a graphic program at home and print to disk using a laserjet-II
driver. The resulting dump file (one file a page) will be about 950k. The
file will probably hold an uncompressed image, 'cause ZOO will reduce it
by about 96%.
When I copy the file to the printer (a laserjet III with 1M internal memory),
the printer shows error 20 - out of memory, and ejects the paper. The image
is printed for about 70-80%.
As a pageprinter will build up a complete image of a page always, its internal
memory must be big enough. So I guess the commands in my dump file are too
complex.
It there a way around this problem other than installing more memory?
(eg. the LJ-III will accept compressed data. Does a program exist converting
a datafile into a compressed datafile?)

(Please respond by email).

Thanks in advance,
	Jan
