According to http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2004-July/088665.html,
There is a PS procedure defined that compares the VM with a
number on
the stack, then prints the above message and aborts the job if
it's
less. The line that invokes the procedure is always :
nnnn VM?^M
(where nnnn is a variable number defining the VM requirements)
So I thought I could use grep to remove these lines. Can the PPD
redefine the procedure to do nothing?
Maybe using the cups drivers instead of the Adobe ones wouldn't demand
so much memory, but after a lot of trying I cannot get the system to
work with them, so I'm stuck with the Adobe ones.
Thanks again for your help & patience...
Tom
