Is this perhaps what has caused my computer to crash consistently when
trying to print out fairly large documents with lots of images? I
thought I'd cured the problem by converting all JPEGs to
smaller-dimensioned Sprites at a much lower memory size. But maybe
this is the cause instead?

How do I set the Print Memory, please, and to what suggested value? (I
have over 100MB of RAM, in both VRPC and Kinetic.)
