NVDI File Print

[Gamer]

Hello again,

I am fooling with Probe House's Remote Print which is a great program. I can only get the raw data print to work right now. I can print out RAW data files using NVDI have RP print them out to my wife's network HP-8600 laserjet printer. I can even do pictures when using Papyrus X. It works fine in black and white. The problem comes when I try to do color. The target file does not get populated (remains at 0 bytes) and the Firebee usually hangs.
Anyone have any ideas? It seems to me that I am running out of memory, but with 512MB of memory, I do not see how. Suggestions?

Take a look at this post if it makes sense viewtopic.php?t=25684&start=25#p246675

From what I gather NVDI does PCL3+, PCL3c or PCL3 GUI.
But modern printers does PCL5 and can't handle PCL3+ color, only the B&W version of it which is downward compatible.

You may not get it to print color even if it does generate a file.

I don't thing that it's a printer memory issue, a full page in 300 DPI is around 25 MB
it is more likely, as suggested by Wongck, a PCL standard issue.
As I am curious, I have googled the specs of your printer : It seems that it's an inkjet and not a Laser printer, as the reference for HP 8600 points to an Officejet model, isn't it?
If it's the case it talks PCL3 enhanced. You should try different Deskjet or PaintJet drivers from NVDI, starting first with DJ550C and then trying some more recent printers (a search of each printer spec can help you in this task), always test first in low color mode and low DPI, then increase.
I don't guaranty that it works, as the different variants of PCL tend to screw things up, but it worths trying.

Yes, you are correct. The 8600 Officejet is an inkkjet printer, not a Laserjet. My mistake. I will take your suggestion and try other Deskjet printers from NVDI. The ones I have tried are the Epson Photo 700 and the HP 890c. Both are inkjet prints and worked well for me. I used them both on my Hades (God rest it's soul) and now I use the 890c with my Falcon setup. Thanks much for the reply.
