Hi Patrick, I forget what it was that caused you to impose that limitation, but has it been removed with the switch to Java 1.4.2, or is it still there? Just curious, fwiw, because my vague recollection of the issue seems to be that it had something to do with Java 1.3.1, or is that completely off base? _________________ PBG4, 1.5GHz, SuperDrive, 1GB RAM, 128MB VRAM, 5400rpm 80GB HD, MacOS X 10.4.5
Unfortunately, the 300 DPI won't go away. While the JVM no longer is the cause of this limit, I found that allowing 600 DPI will use a rediculous amount of memory when you print images or even more so when you print a document with transparent objects.
The second case is caused by the way OOo prints transparent objects. Basically, OOo creates a 600 DPI temporary image, draws all of the transparent objects to the temporary image, and then draws the temporary image to the printer. Due to this drawing process, at some points in the process there are two copies of the 600 DPI temporary image which translates into a huge amount of memory for the JVM.
