Re: I've got a panther in my tank

Mine's an old inkjet, and a greater risk than running out of memory is running out of ink.

Yeah, and I don't print many things that are more than a dozen pages [I try to avoid PDF files].

Well, us amateurs don't print such large documents. The biggest I think
I've printed was about 80 pages, lots of color and a few graphics. My
little 7 yr old hp deskjet was able to handle that. If I am concerned
about the printer not accepting a large document (like fewer pages but lots
of high res graphics) I'll just cut it in half and tell it to print pages
1-15 now and then 16-30 the next time, in which cases pages 15 and 30 would
be the first printed in each batch. Then you can just set one batch on top
of the other. More or less the same thing, just in two steps.

Beyond that I've printed lots of quantities of individual pages a lot. The
labels I make for bulbs are 4 to a page, so I might print 20 pages of a page
that has 4 varieties on it.

I've looked at the color printers at Office Depot, laser and ink, both are
way out of my price range, but would be great to have.

yes most times Kitty... but if you have a huge
document with a zillion pages, your printer has to
spool the entire document, and sometimes you run out
of printer RAM.....

On another note, we just bought a color laser here
that not only prints both sides at once, it can make a
booklet -reduce the print size to half, so 4 pages of
a word document is now on one sheet of paper, figures
out the printing order and in less that a minute can
print a 80 page catalog on like 20 sheets of paper...
and all I have to do is bind it, already sorted and
ready! - gotta love it :)

Jim, that's not your OS, that's your printer's
properties.  Somehow the
default got reset.  I changed my default long ago to
print the last page
first, always. Nice, isn't it?  I think of things
like that.

Just discovered change number three. When I print

a multipage document,

it prints last to first, so the pages are stacked

in reading order in

the out bin.
I wonder who thinks of stuff like that?

Subject: [CHAT] I've got a panther in my tank

Just upgraded my operating system to OS X

"Panther" and here are the

first two changes I have noticed: 1. When my

browser highlights a

message in my in-box, all messages with that

same message line are

highlighted--so I can easily figure out who's

replying to what. 2.

When
I send a message, the computer makes a

whooshing sound--like a jet

flying too low over the homestead. Kind of

silly, no?
