Hmm. I'm not an Acrobat/Postscript expert, but I seem to recall that each page in a PDF file is
self-contained image. So the printer only has to "remember" one page at a time. I suppose an
individual page image could be too bit for the printer to handle.

That could be an issue with any brand of printer. It's always a good idea to keep a graphic as small
as possible, consistent with acceptable picture quality. I prefer to keep my graphics in separate
files, so I can fiddle with their format more easily. Simply pasting the graphic into your word
process file puts you at the mercy of the word processor -- and what WP has any mercy at all? ;)
It's also important to remember that you don't need to use a postcript printer -- or the postscript
mode of a printer that supports more than one page language -- to print out PDF or postscript files.
If the printer manufacturer provides a driver for its own native language (PCL for HP printers)
you'll get better results using that driver instead of a postscript driver. Acrobat doesn't care --
most of the time it just uses the OS API to send data to the printer driver, which then translates
the API info into PCL or Postscript or whatever else the printer needs.
