Insufficient printer memory — Hard disk space low for printing

What does Insufficient printer memory mean?

The printer indicates insufficient memory for a print job. This message often refers to a lack of available hard disk space on the connected computer rather than the printer's own RAM.

• Low hard disk space on the computer for spooling
• Incorrect parallel port settings in CMOS (if applicable)
• Corrupted printer driver or system files

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Free up hard disk space on your computer by deleting unnecessary files using disk utility programs.

2. 2

   Verify the connection between the computer and the printer port. Ensure the cable is secure.

3. 3

   If using a parallel port connection, check your computer's BIOS/CMOS settings to ensure the parallel port mode is set to ECP or SPP.

4. 4

   Restart both your computer and the printer.

5. 5

   If printing regular fonts fails repeatedly, the printer cable may be defective; try replacing it.
