HP LJ P2015 ERROR: limitcheck OC: image
We have an HP LaserJet network printer which is accessed by several devices, principally a MacBook running OSX 10.7 and a MacPro running 10.6. Both computers have problems but they are different. It may be confusing but I will try to address them all in this one question, if you will forgive me.
MacPro 10.6.8 has no problem printing except from Mail. If I select a Mail message and ask for it to print, the printer's green light flashes briefly and then nothing happens. Not only does it not print but it stops anything else printing until I reboot everything. Just Mail, nothing else.
MacBook 10.7 manages to print fine except, occasionally, when we want to print some screen shot PNG files, we get a PostScript error: ERROR: limitcheck (and) OFFENDING COMMAND: image. This can be overcome by turning off Auto rotate and printing a landscape image across the width of a portrait page but this makes the images too small.
Is this just a memory problem? There is no information available from HP on the detailed setting up of the printer in the printer's web page (they refer you to a wizard which I do not have) and I wonder if I am not doing something I should in the setup. It would seem odd that it should be a memory issue as I print far larger images from the MacPro and it seems to me that the problem is peculiar to Lion and not a problem with Snow Leopard. The on board memory is 32MB and it says only 17.61MB is available.
The printer is connected directly to a Time Capsule by RJ45. The MacPro is wired to the Time Capsule but the MacBook speaks to it wirelessly. Am a bit stuck and any advice would be welcome.
