I have been troubled by this for some time. When I am on a "print page"
window in IE6, I get an "Not enough memory for this operation" error.

Further, although all other printing operations work, there is NO printer
icons in "printers" window (start->printers). However, if I "add printer",
I get an "unable to detect a plug and play...." If I continue and select a
port and a printer then Cancel, close the printers window, open printers
window again, all of the printer icons display.

One other thing, in the printers window, if I right click the add printer
icon nothing happens. If I select File->Open it proceed normally

System is Win2000 SP4 512 mb memory
Thanks for any thoughts on the nagging issue,
PeterH

Quite often these issues are caused by bad print drivers, try updating
yours.

Also if you've had a print command crash try flushing the spooler by
stopping and restarting it

Open a CMD prompt and type

net stop spooler

press enter

then type

net start spooler

press enter

hope that helps?
