Hi,

Is there someone who has seen a situation where a report with \> 100 pages is shown in the Jasper Viewer and when from viewer the document is printed to the printer, that it hangs-up the computer?  
When printing only a few pages the problem doesn’t occur.

I’m using Jasper 2.0.4 (can’t upgrade to 3.0 yet)

HI Martin,  
have looked at the internet for Jasper Reports and “virtualization”? I seem to recall large page sizes consume a lot of memory and this virtualization may provide disk based storeage or something like that.

I have a report with 319 pages that I can see on the viewer with no problem, I then can export to pdf with no problem. I have not gone to the printer directly with that many pages of course - being green ![:mrgreen:]( "Mr. Green") minded ![:!:]( "Exclamation")

Hi Tom,

In viewer itself no problem. But that 100 pages need to go to the printer.  
Where is the file stored before printing (or even while printing)? I tried to find it, but I couldn’t find it.  
Because with the file, I can check the filesystem to see if it is limited.

By the way the problem occurs on 2 PC’s  
Does that mean the problem probably will be on the server and not on the client?

The problem has been solved. There were 2 reasons:

1. Make sure that each client gets enough memory to run Servoy (see some other postings from Jan Blok about memory settings)
2. Do not put a big company logo in the report. Because the company logo was about 1MB, printing 100 pages with company logo in the header caused the computer to hang.
