I had the same problem with my LJ4P, and solved it in two ways. One was to use the driver for the 2P series, which gave me printouts at 300dpi, and the other is to let it try to print, and when you get a "mem overflow" message, or whatever message your printer gives you in these situations, elect "continue", and it will print the map without the text. Then feed it in again and it will print the text....in almost perfect registration, too! Be sure that you have your print setup "print TT as graphics", and choose raster, not HPLG. Glenna, NY P.S. My LJ4P has only the standard 2 megs of RAM.
