We have been having graphics disappear (and sometimes reappear too) while printing Word 97 (SR-2) documents from a Win95 (OSR2) computer (160 MB RAM, 300MHz PII) to a network printer. Mail merges with graphics on both sides of a page have the graphicon one side intermittently vanish. Avery labels with a Graphic in the corner lose the graphic part way through the print job. It has happened with merged and non-merged .docs, and 2 different network printers (HP4si, Canon iR600) have been involved. Canon printer has 64MB RAM (maxed out). Anyone know how to stop this from happening?

I know that our HP LJ4 has a page protect option. But if you are not getting a 21 print overrun error, never mind page protect.

If you print at 600 dpi (the default for our HPLJ4) it takes 4 times as much memory as printing at 300 dpi. Set your printer to use 300 dpi as the default (through the menu). I know we have had to do this when sending a lot of graphics on a page. I bet this will work.

Problem is mainly printing to the Canon. Graphics options don't include dpi for that printer (it's always 600 dpi). Printer has 64 MB internal memory

Another possibility might be to check the printer properties and see if you can set it to "raster graphics." This worked to make the text in callouts print in Word documents.
