The client is generally rasterizing pages of content for the printer at some agreed upon resolution, bit depth, and color space. This raster data is typically already compressed with a simple algorithm such as PackBits (run-length encoding) and is thus already variable-length per page with no way to know ahead of time how large it will be. Add gzip to the mix and you *really* don't know what the final length will be. _________________________________________________________ Michael Sweet, Senior Printing System Engineer, PWG Chair
