You receive an error message when you try to print a presentation in PowerPoint: "Not enough printer memory available to print page"

When you print a presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint, you may receive the following error message:

This problem can occur because the memory setting on the Microsoft Windows printer driver is too low. The default memory setting for some printer drivers is the lowest possible setting. Therefore, this setting may be insufficient for your print job.

To fix this problem, reset the memory setting on the printer driver to reflect the exact amount of memory installed on the printer in question.

To change the printer driver memory setting, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
2. Right-click the appropriate printer icon, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Device Options tab.
4. In the Printer Memory list, click the correct setting, and then click OK.

For information about how to verify the amount of memory installed on your printer, see your printer manufacturer's user guide. For more information about memory in HP LaserJet printers, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
