I'm starting to get the message below from my printer whenever I try to print a PDF. I have Acrobat X Pro, but it doesn't seem to matter what was used to create the PDF. I have printed the same documents on this printer with a different computer, so I know it isn't the printer, but I don't know whether to blame it on Windows 7 or Acrobat X, or something else. Anyone else having issues? The printer is an HP Laserjet 6MP that has worked fine for years.

Message is:

This job requires more memory than is available in this printer. Try one or more of the following and then print again:
For the output format choose Optimize for Portability.
In the Device Settings page, make sure the Available PostScript Memory is accurate.
Reduce the number of fonts in the document.
Print the document in parts.

I've reduced filesize as much as possible in Acrobat. There are only one or two fonts, and I get the message even if I try to print a single page. I have no idea what the Available PostScript Memory should be, so I can't tell if it's accurate or not.

The same documents print fine from the original Office 2007 applications before being converted to PDF also.

Are the drivers on both systems the same? I'm wondering if thenworking one is pcl and the other is ps.

You might want to try to print this in PCL (latest that the printer supports) rather than PS format.

Also consider printing the document as a graphic instead.

I'd probably start with 5e.

Print the printer's System Info page(s) and look at Memory sizes, include for PS.

I just upgraded to Acrobat X and I am having a problem with printing. Keeps telling me to check paper tray. Never had a problem with Acrobat 9.

I recommend uninstalling the printer and then reinstalling.
1. Uninstall
2. Power down
3. Power up
I've seen something similar with my HP Laserjet.

Acrobat Reader? Personally, I'd say start using an alternative like FoxIt but probably not what you had in mind as a fix.

Look for the setting to print as image or bitmap. Happens on lots of printers with pdfs.

Are your fonts installed on the printer? If not, the file will be bitmapped and use gobs of memory.

Umm, there is a list for substitute fonts, inside of PS engine the printer and in your PC's drivers.
