Re: Memory and printing
Though everything that Ted says is true, I must note that an HP 6L is
not a PostScript printer. I have a 5L at home with 1 MB memory and
can say that, under PCL, that that is enough memory to printer
anything but the most complex graphics at 600 dpi and I haven't found
a page yet that failed to print at 300 dpi.
