Are you sure the error message refers to virtual memory, or is it just saying "insufficient memory"? In the printer properties, is it set to spool or print direct to the printer? Spooling will temporarily "tie up" a large amount of RAM, but not the system itself. Printing direct ties up the system (CPU) until the print queue is empty, but does not use as much memory.

There are a few really inaccurate replies and unwarranted assumptions so far in this thread.

• A re-installed or newer version of the printer driver has no bearing on and will not solve a low-memory problem.

• "Another stick of memory" and "Win 2000" are certainly not the first, nor even a good, sensible or economical remedy that anyone should be recommending to solve this problem.

• Without a lot more info, there is absolutely no reason to assume that a system currently running Windows 95 is even able to be upgraded this way. Windows 2000 is expensive, and may not run well or even install. If the system requires EDO RAM or SIMM modules, they can be very expensive.
