"Unable To Store Job At Printer"

Have an HP Color LaserJet 4650 and Microsoft Windows Vista? When you try printing more than one copy of a document do you get one copy plus a page with the errors below? Searched Google and found very little to help you with the problem?

Error: Unable to store job at printer
Reason: Insufficient disk space for this job
 
Solution: Delete some files from the disk before resending this job.

Two solutions worked for me:

1. Switch from the PCL5 to PostScript driver. The PostScript driver’s defaults appear to be more compatible with the printer.

2. Edit the properties of the printer in Control Panel->Printers. What worked for me is setting Printer Memory to “128 MB,” Printer Hard Disk to “Not Installed,” and Mopier Mode to “Disabled.” The option for Job Storage kept switching itself to “Enabled” so I left it, and it seems to work.

You may have to restart the application you are using in order for the new settings to be read.

As always, if I’m missing something, you have a better way, or I’m just plain wrong leave me a comment. :-)
