   Last option I can think of.  Follow closely.  As a matter of fact copy the text and put it a document file and print it out.  This way you can 1) follow the steps easier and 2) undo what you just did if it doesn't work.

Click on the Windows Start button and go to Printers and Faxes.
Find your plotter and right-click on it.  Choose Properties.
On the General tab click on the "Printing Preferences" button.
At the next window click on the "Services" tab.
On the Services tab click on the "Troubleshoot Software Problems" button.
Enable the middle option called "Send job as a bitmap (Process in Computer).
Click on the OK button.
Close out the dialog box.

Try to plot.  What happens?

Reverse if unsuccessful.

	Hello again my friend, I wanted to tell you but i forgot it; I found the "send job as a bitmap" today. I checked it, wished to solve the problem, but still...here i am. Then I printed as a pdf as you told me; and here is the strange part. At first, when i printed it, it was printed just perfect. The second time though, the "out of memory" message came up again.

	It was Kajito that suggested trying to print as PDF not me. So, it worked and then it didn't work. That's not great news. What version of AutoCAD are you using? Edited by John Connor - 09.Mar.2011 at 17:55

	It could be the plotter driver. Have you tried to uninstall the pc3 driver and reinstall it using add-a-plotter-wizard?
