When I try to print a photo from Word I get the maessage "There is insufficient memory or disk space. Word cannot display the requested font." I am using only 4.5 GB of the 13. I can print reports that contain pictures but not a single photo. What gives? How can I determine that is using my Ram? Thanks for your help

What printer? Some laser printers send back an error message like this, or will only print part of the image if there is not enough internal memory in the printer. If that is tha case then add memory to the printer, or decrease the size, or resolution of the image to be printed.

Regarding printers: It did it with an HP 820 Desktop. Yesterday I bought an HP5550 to replace the old one, but the problem persists.
