    Sparklebox File Sizes

    I have just downloaded the toolbar now my internet wont....hehe

    Seriously though I was wanting to know if anyone had come up of ways to deal with the massive file sizes that are possible to print from this site. I have had print jobs sent of up to 1.5Gb!

    I have informed staff where possible, but i work between several schools and so when i am not there - well you know the story!

    Currently printers are either locally installed (and these print jobs eat the virtual memory) and some have a networked printer for the site.

    Any input here would be appreciated

    I have been advising that the files be saved locally, then when they have a spare half hour they will be able to print them. Also to select the pages they want printing rather than the whole job lot at once. If not then the machine stalls, the print job does (eventually) go through, but the process prevents the user from doing anything else.

    Unfortunately haven't found a way yet of splitting the file into smaller chunks, other than one page at a time.
