I just purchased Street Altas USA on the recommendation of some of you. It looks
like a great product.  I've only had one problem, and it's been with printing.
I have a LaserJet 4 printer with 6 MB RAM and I have problems printing out
maps in both 300 and 600 DPI without getting a 21 PRINT OVERFLOW error. I
did what the Help on the driver says to do.  I changed the graphics mode from
HP-GL/2 to Raster, turned Page Protect on (and tried both Legal and Letter),
and even tried to change the graphics mode from HIGH to MEDIUM (low printed
but looked real bad).  Any ideas?

I also downloaded the lastest drive from FTP-BOI.EXTERNAL.HP.COM for the
printer.  I downloaded the file lj4win31.exe which has a date of 11/22/93
and that only made it worse.  Instead of waiting until the end of the print
job to give me the 21 PRINT OVERFLOW error, it gave it to me at the begining
of the job.

If I don't have enough memory, how much should I have?  If I have enough,
what settings should I use?  Is there any way for me to test my printer to
make sure it's okay?

Thanks
Joe
