I have just changed printers (from an Oki which was great but getting expensive on consumables after 2 years) to a Lexmark C530DN colour laser, double sided printer. I have also just upgraded to Adobe Acrobat 8 Prof. on WXP prof, SP3.

I am finding that if I print multiple copies of any pdf document over a couple of pages long, and collate those copies, that the printer will: A) take about a minute to start; B ) will print 2 pages double sided and then stop for a minute before resuming; C) after about six pages will throw a wobbly and give me the error message �insufficient memory to collate� (or words to that effect) and stop completely. Additionally, if I try to print a long pdf document, of 169 pages, it will do as A) above and then stop every 4 or 6 pages and take a breather for 30 seconds before resuming!

None of these problems occur when I print from either Word or Power Point applications, but ONLY when printing pdf files from Adobe 8.

My solution to this problem, after spending almost a day on the telephone to Lexmark and possibly incorrectly blaming them for building shoddy printers, is to install a free and extremely basic pdf viewer (I chose Foxit PDF, but I am sure others would work).

Not being sufficiently techie to know why, I find that by using Foxit PDF I am able to print long pdf documents, as well as multiple collated copies of pdf documents.

Now, my question is, who is to blame for this situation � Lexmark or Adobe? Who is going to put it right and when?
