Does the printer output any error message? |
|
|
ERROR: limitcheck OFFENDING COMMAND: filter STACK: /ReusableStreamDecode -filestream- -savelevel- |

The issue is more generally related with image format allowing alpha channels. We formerly used a postscript ReusableStreamDecode filter in order to combine the image and the mask data. Unfortunately that filter rely much on available memory for the interpreter and easily triggers limitcheck errors on desktop/office printers. Yesterday I committed a first fix in 1.3.5svn which remove those ReusableStreamDecode filter in normal pages by using Type3 postscript images and interleaving mask+image data. The tests i made on our Phaser 7750GX show that document which previously triggered limitcheck errors can now be printer normally. I gonna commit the fix for master pages today, and this issue will be resolved. |
