Brother HL-1110 MEMORY FULL errors when printing. #215

Printing test pages just works fine, due to them being very limited in size.

But when having the printer set to 600 DPI, and trying to print a 300 DPI scan, I get the blinking orange LED, and when printing out printer settings, I see that the MEMORY FULL count has gone up.

Trying to print a PS that is based on an image creates this in the CUPS printer queue: image

559 K should fit in the 1 MB memorey the printer has.

The command I use to convert the image to PS is the follwing: convert TMPDIR/scan{DATE_T}.tiff -colorspace Gray -density 300 -compress lzw -brightness-contrast 5x0 PRINTDIR/scan{DATE_T}.ps

I made 2nd try using tiff -> pdf -> ps CUPS got that the size was 568 K, but still fails with MEMORY FULL error.

Here are the commands I ran to do the conversions: convert TMPDIR/scan{DATE_T}.tiff TMPDIR/scan{DATE_T}.pdf gs -sDEVICE=ps2write -dLanguageLevel=3 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sOutputFile=PRINTDIR/scan{DATE_T}.ps TMPDIR/scan{DATE_T}.pdf

I managed to get around this problem once, by setting: lpadmin -p -o usb-unidir-default=true

But alas, it does not help this time.
