- TITLE :Err Msg: 20: Memory Overflow on HP LaserJet Series III
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:Buglist3.10
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- When you print to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet Series III printer that
- has exactly 1 megabyte (MB) of memory, the following error message may
- appear on the LCD panel of the printer:
-
- 20: Memory Overflow
-
- This message may appear even though the Windows NT Print Manager reflects
- that you have accurately set the amount of memory on the printer to 1024
- kilobytes (K).
-
- The same file prints correctly from Microsoft Windows 3.1. However, if you
- select FILE: as the port within the Windows NT Print Manager and then
- attempt to print the resulting output file after you boot to MS-DOS with
- the "copy filename.prn lptx: /b" command, the above error message still
- appears.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- This error message may appear when you attempt to print a file that
- contains a large amount of graphics or data per page. The printer driver
- used when printing to HP LaserJet Series III printers in Windows NT
- (HPPCL.DLL) sends too much information to the printer, which causes the
- memory buffer of the printer to overflow.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- To correct this problem, add memory to the printer.
-
- One of the following steps may also correct this problem:
-
- - Decrease the amount of graphics and/or data per page.
-
- - Reduce the printer resolution (dots per inch).
-
- STATUS
- ======
-
- Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1. We
- are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
- Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
