I tried to print a graphic file to my printer which is connected to Xerox printer, a copier printer used in the copy shop. However, I failed. It might cause by the size, 650MB, is too large to print.

Is there any solution to solve this printing problem? Your help would be appreciated.

When all is said and done, you need around 2GB of free hard drive space for the spool file.

You can try enableing print direct so that your printer starts printing before the file is spooled.

My best suggestion is to use an image editor, and create a scaled down version of the file for printing purposes.
The maximum image detail you need is 2* your printer resolution.
Start by changing the size of the image to match the size of the printed image.
Then, lower the resolution to between 300 and 2400 DPI.
Save the image with a new name to preserve the original image.
