Not enough storage is available to process this command

  • 772

I've got a number of users who are complaining that IE8 gives the error Not enough storage is available to process this command when printing very large documents (100's of pages). I found a number of articles that talk about the IRPStackSize being too small, but even with that turned up to 50 (the highest it will go), I still see this error happening.

Are there any other possible work around's? Or is it simply that IE is not capable of printing very large documents?

UPDATE

For anyone else looking at this kind of problem:

We have abandoned printing documents directly from the browser, there was a whole litany of problems. We had everything from out of memory errors, images not being displayed and browsers just plain locking up.

Printing large documents from the browser is a plain bad idea. We are currently looking at alternatives.

  1. Your research seems to point to a fairly unavoidable limitation in IE8, and I couldn't find anything to contradict that.

    Have you tried printing to PDF, ODI, or other disk-based document format first? This would be my first choice for a workaround.
