With a laser printer, an entire file/document must be in the printer's memory for printing to begin. If you have something that needs 32 MB of RAM, and your printer only has 16 MB of RAM, you can't print that document.
I did not know this!
I'd never have occasion to print a 16G document, let alone a 32G, but I'd never figure out why it wouldn't print.
Actually it is my understanding there is only a ram minimum per page. Unlike a inkjet printer a laser fuser can't stop mid-page for more data and result in a properly printed page. The whole page image has to be available in RAM. I don't think it is the whole document if HD access is not dined. Unprinted pages can be spooled just like an inkjet.
