The key being to set the printer language/personality to PDF and then using the UEL (Universal Exit Language) command to issue more control commands. It is possible however to setup a print job with PJL commands and include the PDF documents within that job. Click the Print directly to the printer option.HP Direct PDF printing is a great cross platform driverless printing mechanism which I have used for a number of customers with great results.Ī common problem with Direct PDF printing is that it is not possible to include any printer control commands such as tray calls within the PDF and lots of people have been asking how to do this – I checked with HP Technical support and was told it is not possible.Open the properties dialog box for the printer.To resolve this problem, bypass EMF spooling. Therefore, you may notice that the printing process decreases in performance. pdf file of 1 megabyte (MB) may generate an EMF spool file of 500 MB. The size of the raster data increases by four times if the dots-per-inch (dpi) in the file increases by two times. This problem is very prominent with printers that support higher resolutions. This problem occurs because Graphics Device Interface (GDI) doesn't compress raster data when the GDI processes EMF spool files and generates EMF spool files. doc/.docx documents that contain gradients are even more likely to contain lots of raster data. doc/.docx documents may contain lots of raster data.

When you print a document that contains lots of raster data, the size of the Enhanced Metafile (EMF) spool file may become very large.

This article provides a resolution for an issue where the size of the Enhanced Metafile (EMF) spool file grows very big when you print a document that contains many groups of raster data.Īpplies to: Windows Server 2012 R2 Original KB number: 919543 Symptoms
