Thanks Helge,
Its definitely the pdd file causing the problem.
I only use 2880x2880 for printing onto film to produce negatives for PCB developing.

It looks like the simplified file will do 2880x2880 , using best and ultra settings, but when tried the print job gets stopped.

I'll try as you suggested.
