HP LaserJet 1320 memory question

I sometimes have to print up to sixty pages of Excel documents. This printer can expand up to 144 MB.

Does anyone know how much memory sticks are? Would it speed up these large tasks? Are they difficult to install?
 
Your gonna have to go to HP.com to find out. It should speed up large tasks.

My little HP LJ 1000 only has a half-meg of RAM, and I can print huge documents just fine.

BUT:
I think when you have very little, Windows just uses system RAM and spools a page at a time.
 
Its amazing how much they charge for memory. I have a HP 1100 with the default memory (1 MB I think) and I have had problems in the past tyring to print high resolution images. It would only print part of the image. I think laser printers use memory differently than ink jets. I think the entire page has to be loaded into memory before it can print. If you can't fit the entire page into memory then it only prints part of the page. Laser printers print the page in one sweep, unlike ink jets that print line by line. Someone can comment if I am wrong.

More memory may not speed up your printing, but it will allow you to print more complex images. I think the speed is largely based on your computer and printer processors.
 
Am not sure thats true. My dinky little HP can do a full page photo (B&W) in one sweep. No stalls or anything. It only has 512KB.
