SUMMARY
When troubleshooting printing problems in Microsoft Publisher, keep in mind
that some issues may be caused by low printer memory or incorrect system
settings regarding the memory on a particular printer. With the Hewlett-
Packard (HP) LaserJet family of printers, running the printer's self-test
is a way to find out the exact amount of memory that is installed.
