If your printer has HP Laserjet support, use that. What happened was that the printer probably ran out of memory. Each pixel on that page is a LINE is postscript. Consider that "standard" fax resolution is around 100×100 dpi, this gives you 10,000 pixels/square inch. with 93.5 square inches on a normal 8.5×11 sheet of paper you get 935,000 pixels on the page. This will eat at least 115KB of memory for the image (uncompressed). When this is converted to a postscript image, the size of the image when it's transferred to the printer can increase over 10-fold. Not fun, and I've seen this before with people trying to print scanned-in graphics out of a word processor to a low-end PS printer. PCL mode (HP Laserjet) worked fine though… Brian
