Printing problems

Hello TeX wizards,

I have large quantities of scanned material in my documents. When =
creating a PS file the size is close to 2 GB.=20

When I print directly via DVIPSONE everything works fine, exept the =
spooling file on the printer server grows until available disk space is =
0. Then the printing stops. This means splitting up the printing process =
into several junks and hoping the spooling file will not outgrow the =
available disk space of some 500 MB on the limited C disk. This takes =
time and is annoying.

Second option: I convert the PS file into a PDF file via Acrobat =
Destiller 4.05. The size of the original PS file is about reduced to one =
thenth in the PDF file. When printing the PDF file the first page =
containing a tiff image prints fine, the following text page also, the =
next page containing again a tiff image will not print exept for the top =
and left line of the frame of the picture. Then the printer prints =
following error message:

ERROR: undefinedresult
OFFENDING COMMAND: div

STACK:
0.0
0.0
-filestream-
-filestream-
-mark-
-savelevel-
-savelevel-

I use YANDY TeX 2.2 on NT 4.0 and an up to date HP-Laserjet. Drivers =
have been updated. Adobe Destiller is V 4.05. HP-printer driver and =
Adobe printer driver behave exactly the same. Switching PS-level has no =
effect.

I looked at the switches of DVIPSONE without getting a glue.

Maybe someone has run into similar problems and has found a solution?

I am very happy the support group exists so there is an option when you =
get stuck. Many thanks for your effort which is really appreciated.
