Yeah but I have exactly 1MB of RAM in that printer. I don't know why you need a whole MB of RAM for a page though? I can understand if it was a picture. But the text should still be pretty much the same size as the file I thought. Those files were less than 5K. Does APSfilter convert everything to a picture before sending it to the printer?
