If you encounter 'Insufficient Memory' errors on your computer after printing a lot from your Kodak Printer, your computer might be low on RAM or disk caching memory, especially when working with high-resolution images. To solve this: * Minimize the number of images open at once. * Purge the clipboard contents frequently. * Close unnecessary applications.
