SYMPTOMS

In PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0, when you print a presentation, you may receive the following error message:

Not enough printer memory available to print page.

You may encounter this error message when you print from either the stand-alone version of PowerPoint 97 or from Office Binder.

CAUSE

This problem can occur because the memory setting on the Windows 95 printer driver is too low. The default memory setting for some printer drivers is the lowest possible setting; this setting may be insufficient for your print job.

RESOLUTION

To fix this problem, reset the memory setting on the printer driver to reflect the exact amount of memory installed on the printer in question.

To change the printer driver memory setting, follow these steps:

Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
Right-click the appropriate printer icon and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
Click the Device Options tab.
In the Printer Memory list, click the correct setting and then click OK.
