SYMPTOMS

When you print a high-resolution image or a complex drawing that yields a large spool file, the EndPage function may fail and return -1, and the GetLastError function may return 8 ("Not enough storage is available to process this command").

RESOLUTION

If you are an application developer and you are developing an application that could be affected by this problem, consider rendering to a DIB section and then using SetDIBitsToDevice/StretchDIBits to send the DIB data to the printer. This method will help to reduce the size of the spool file.
