Problems printing some PDFs created from SolidWorks on HP 5000N

What kind of problems?

On larger prints (file size) printer just freezes returning error thru print server (win2003) I can pin point the exact problem because it is not doing it all the time, it seems that problem started some time after upgrade to 2007, I think it may be postscript issue, or do I need new printer?

We have the same model printer and I seldom have problems with it. We have

4mb memory installed and use the "HP LaserJet 5000 Series PCL6" driver. Let me know if you would like to know any other settings we use. If you want, you can send me a file and I can try to print it here.

Also, it seems like once I see a problem with a printer (missing dims, baloons, BOM items, etc.), re-starting SolidWorks is the only way to get a good print.

Is that printing directly to the printer from SW or saving as PDF and then printing created PDF file?

If I do it the normal way (print directly to the printer or print to Acrobat) everything prints OK. Unfortunately our procedure requires PDF of every drawing (you can't trust .slddrw )

It's not you, and it's not just PDFs generated from SolidWorks. Your

5000N probably does not have enough memory.
