You can do a Google search for "freeware PDF printer", minus the quotes, for some examples or drop the freeware part if you want to consider commercial versions that may not come with commercials. Even Foxit Reader has a PDF printer available. You might even already have one installed depending on what other programs you have loaded on your machine. Some come with a print to PDF driver and don't bother telling you they installed it. Tell your computer to print a single page document and then rather than accept the default printer see if a PDF printer shows up as one of the other printer choices. Then use the PDF program of your choice and tell it to only the large PDF file but tell it to only print say 100 or less at a time, then grab the next section of the PDF and print that, and so on. I believe LibreOffice can be asked to open large PDF files and let you break it down into smaller chunks for printing. This way when the ink runs out you only have a part of the file to reprint after replacing the cartridge and can go on from there. I'd try printing say a 2 to 5 page test document to get the hang of what ever PDF printer you select in case you should not like one and want to switch to another. |

I would expect Canon to do the same. Perhaps a close reading of your manual will confirm that. But do you really want to print a 518 page document on an inkjet photo printer? Think about it. It probably costs you at least $1.00 per page, maybe a little less if you refill your own ink cartridges. Consider taking the document file to a place like Staples and have them do it for you. It could cost a lot less than doing it yourself. As an alternative, spend the $500+ on a Laser Printer and an extra set of toner cartridges. Laser costs appear high, but cost per print is often much less than for Inkjet printers. (Usually the bigger the toner cartridge, the lower the cost per page.) Fred |

I have already printed this document once & my Canon, although flagging up that the cart was empty, did not stop printing. I have costed the run approx. & it comes out at:- 259 pages (duplex) £2.50 Ink (Black) 2 carts £1.50 So it is not a bank breaker -- Martin ©¿©¬ |

Martin- Is there is an off-line button on the printer, or a pause option in your printer driver? If not, then plan on printing in two sessions. Start with a fresh cartridge and change when the first half is through printing. Fred |

Well Fred I have discovered that when I let the printer carry on printing It DOES flag up a message to change the cart & lets me open the lid, change the cart & it then carries on printing Hip-Hip Tha is another thing I learned today. Thank you very muck for your help -- Regards Martin ©¿©¬ |
