How much memory does a printer spool file use?

1st answer - 78 gig

2nd answer - Well, aren't you a bright one... -.-

3rd answer - Let's now try a rather more helpful answer....

The size of the spool file will vary dramatically depending on several factors:

1. The type of printer, laser printer files are usually larger than ink-jet files.

2. The contents of the document to print, plain text files are usually quite small, say 100KB or so. Printing a full page colour photograph may easily be 200MB or more.

3. The number of pages to be printed, obviously the more pages the more data.

4. The printer protocol in use, some protocols create fairly small files, others such as PCL (Printer Control Language) produce larger files.

So your answer, anything from about 100KB to 100's of MB. The suggested 78GB is a bit high - it is highly unlikely that you would be able to print such a large file on any normal printer.

What is generally printed in a printer test page?

What does 'print to file' mean?

From MS Word Help, which you probably could have looked up yourself: If you want to print your document at a much higher resolution than what's available on your desktop printer, you can select a different printer in the Print dialog box, format your document, print your document to a file, and take the file to a computer connected to the printer you selected, such as a service bureau. A printer file saves the necessary information from your document so that line and page breaks and font spacing remain the same. Any printer that uses the same printer language (for example, PostScript) can print the file and match the output from your computer, provided that the fonts used in the document are available on the printer. Also, when you use a printer file, you can print your document from a computer that doesn't have Word installed.

What is the minimum size of the paging file required to allow a memory dump in the event of a stop error?

That depends on how much memory is being used by the operating system, the apps and their data. In general a paging file is 2 to 3 times physical memory so, 4x the physical memory (paging file of 3x physical memory + physical memory) will guarantee enough room for all data IF the paging file is set to 3x physical memory. There would be more needed for the devices attached to the processor, but there will be holes in memory and these holes most often more than make up for the memory of attached devices.
