I'm not too sure about this one, I don't think it's related to the printer
memory but I could be wrong. WinWord 6.0 will print out bitmaps just fine.
I imported the BMP into a Word doc and it printed it. That would have been
good enough, except WORD printed a graph paper like background behind the
picture which makes it look really shabby.

I tried printing a BMP from the paint brush program that only contains one
(1) pixel and it got the same error. Warp 3.0 had no problem printing any
BMP files created by the same program and on the same printer.

How would one go about telling a printer driver how much memory the printer
has installed anyway?

I think it has a 4k print buffer if this is the memory you refer to. It will
only expand to a 32k print buffer. I don't think this is the problem, I
used the very same printer to print very large BMP files under Warp 3.0
using the very same program.
Thanks Dave,
