My college has an Amiga hooked to a "Unisys" laser printer that des –oops–does HP LaserJet Plus emulation. (I think it is really an Okidata; and tha manual is dated 1987.) I think we have about a meg and a half of ram: in the printer. (Hard to tell–we weren't given much documentation.) This works fine from Word Perfect and ProPage except when we get to a bitmap. It will print about half an inch of the bitmap then eject a page, do the next, etc. Is this what a laserjet does if it is out of memory? Is there some way to make it act more like a dot matrix printer? (The same page prints fine on my DeskJet at home.)

A meg and a half should be enough to do a bitmap to a LJ. I ran bitmapped images on my LJII with 512k, and it will output at LJ+ resolution(150dpi). John

1 meg in a laser will print about 2/5 of a full page 300 dpi bitmap.
