Re: 9 MB file doesn't print
Worth a try in your case: it bypasses the spooler entirely, and simply sends
the output to the printer port. Not usually a good option (you lose all the
bells of whistles of the printer queue management), but sometimes side-steps
printer problems.
Some other techniques you can try --
1. Print to PDF, then print the required pages from the PDF.
2. Print to file, then send the file directly to the printer port.

I shall note all of these tricks, as they can be helpful. And now that I
downloaded free CutePDF that converts word files to pdf on the fly ...
Thanks
