Re: Re: Problem with not all pages printing

Besides buying a new printer, how can I then print a huge file? 

When a user send s a huge file, there should normally exist some mechanism that 
enables it to print let's say pages 1-10 first, then pages 11-20 (considered as 
second job), 21-30  (considered as third job) and so on.

Or we could warn the user that the file he sent is too big...

Can such a thing be done? Thanks for the reply Harald.


With kind regards,

Didier.
