I think Christoph is right that 64 bit provides for a larger size spool
file. 
If your job is spooling as EMF then a work-around, if it's feasible, is to
force the driver to spool RAW as it tends to be smaller for larger
jobs(especially if the source of your printing was a PDF and it's spooling
to EMF). You can do this under the Advanced tab for the queue, uncheck the
tick box "Enable advanced printing features". If it's already spooling RAW
to a PCL format then if there's any way to modify the graphical content,
either change the graphics printing mode between vector and bitmap depending
on what it's already set to, or drop the printing resolution.
Regards,
Gary

Subject: [WinPrnDev] Windows Spool file size limitations


We have a problem when printing files with a spool file size greater than
4Gb. As far as I can tell from searching, this is a Windows limitation.
Does anyone know of any work-round to this issue?
 
Thanks
 
Jon
